Linda Costa is loved by many as a wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She is active in the local community and particularly enjoys…. As her grandchildren, we ask you to consider helping her secure a kidney transplant.

About Linda

Diagnosed with Type-1 diabetes as a child, Linda continues to manage the effects of the disease. Today, she is facing significant kidney disease and, ultimately, kidney failure. In short, our grandmother needs a kidney transplant.

What You Can Do

Like Linda, there are many seeking kidney transplants. She is working with Lehigh Valley Health Network (LVHN), which is now aligned with Jefferson Health. She is seeking a kidney donor through the Kidney Donor Paired program. We encourage anyone interested in helping Linda to complete the Living Donor Online Referral Form. Prospective donors can also initiate the living donor process by calling 610-402-8565. Be sure to include “Linda Costa” when asked if you want to donate to a specific person.

Nearly one-quarter of live donor transplants now come from donors who are not blood relatives. Due to the shortage of available organs and the successful outcomes following organ transplants from living donors, the LVHN/Jefferson Transplant team encourages transplants between spouses, friends, and even strangers.

Thank you for your consideration.

As we speed toward fall 2022, America’s Transportation Experience, the AACA Museum, Inc,  in Hershey, PA, is gearing up for its featured Fall/Winter Exhibit.  “Racing to the Finish Line,” spotlights competition cars, trucks, and motorcycles. Curated by the museum curator, Stan Sipko, the exhibit opens on November 18th. Cassidy is pleased to provide exhibit art direction and branding.

Sometimes it’s the simple things that keep us connected. Today is a day to appreciate the relationships we have built over more than thirty years of creative endeavors. If we haven’t touched base recently, this message is for you. We love keeping in touch.

Cheers.

SWIFTWATER, PA | Cassidy Communication has a long history of providing award-winning marketing and graphic design services to the  Monroe County Transit Authority (MCTA) — The Pocono Pony. When the public transit agency embarked on bringing microtransit services to the county, they turned to Cassidy for creative direction. The new service, named PonyPlus, builds on the established Pocono Pony brand and adds eye-catching style.

MCTA kicked off the PonyPlus microtransit this summer. The new $2 transportation service offers door-to-door transit similar to other rideshare apps like Uber or Lyft. Riders can book a trip on the PonyPlus app, Monday through Friday from 6:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Service is available in the Pocono Summit Area and also in Delaware Water Gap, East Stroudsburg, and Stroudsburg Borough.

“The goal is that we come to pick you up within about fifteen minutes, bring you to your location, and you are charged just $2, which is a much better price than other taxi companies or Uber or Lyft,” stated Rich Schlameuss, Assistant Executive Director, Monroe County Transit Authority.

When the AACA Museum, Inc. (Hershey, PA) planned the featured Fall exhibit for their world-class museum, they put together an outstanding array of “Survivors.” In this case, it was “survivor vehicles.”

A “survivor” is a classic vehicle that has not been altered in any way since it was built. According to the  Museum, most agree that survivor cars — and survivor trucks and survivor motorcycles — must have the original paint job, original interior, and parts. It’s a bonus to have documentation confirming the location and date of the vehicle’s initial purchase.

Cassidy provided the vision, photography, and branding for the exhibit officially dubbed “Survivors: Unrestored Cars, Trucks, and Motorcycles.” The brand highlights a “survivor” from the Museum’s renowned collection. Noted for its huge iconic tailfins with dual bullet tail lights, the black 1959 Series 62 Coupe represents the vehicle’s sixth generation. It was donated to the Museum by John Bokeeno.

The Fall 2021 exhibits at the Museum open on November 18, 2021, and remain on display through April 21, 2022. The Museum is located at 161 Museum Drive, Hershey, PA. Hours are 9 am- 5pm.
