CASS CITY Through generous donations and support from community members, Cass City alumni, and local businesses, organizations, and foundations, the Cass City Promise is on track to initiate its first phase next year, setting current and future Cass City students up for success with student savings accounts with help from Thumb Bank and Trust and the Sanilac Community Foundation.
