Kimberly
& Mark Casson
VP
& Treasurer -Greater Good, Inc.
Kimberly
and Mark are parents and local business owners who embraced Rick's
idea to create the Greater Good Music, Art and Children's
Festival. Having bought a farm in the north end of Escambia
County, FL about a year earlier made it all the more exciting when
Rick mentioned he needed an outdoor venue for the festival.
Kimberly and Mark feel that music, art and children are inspirations
that span all cultures and have the potential to bring people of
diverse backgrounds together to enrich our lives.
