Creative 360 Honors Mrs. Puppets, Cheryl Levy, With Blood Drive

On Thursday, June 20th from 1-6 pm, Creative 360 will be hosting a blood drive at their 5501 Jefferson Avenue location in honor of local arts supporter Cheryl Levy.


Levy is a long-time supporter of Creative 360 and a beloved teacher of many classes including the recent Grandma Goose Summer Camps. She was a librarian at Grace A. Dow Memorial Library for 19 years, where she created magic with puppets. In addition, Levy has directed many Peanut Gallery plays at the Midland Center for the Arts and has designed and taught acting camps for children for many years.


In January, Levy was diagnosed with severe anemia, requiring numerous blood transfusions. Around the same time, the Red Cross declared an emergency blood shortage. When Levy was asked what friends could do to help, she replied that those interested in helping could proactively help others like her by donating blood.

“When we saw that Cheryl was asking for blood donations, we jumped at the chance to help,” said Creative 360 Executive Director, Laura Vosejpka. “Cheryl and her husband, Larry, have been long time supporters of our arts non-profit and we are so happy to be able to offer this opportunity for the community who loves her to donate blood in her honor.”


Creative 360 is partnering with Versiti Blood Center of Michigan for this blood drive. To schedule an appointment for June 20th, visit www.versiti.org/mi. You can also call Creative 360 at 989-837-1885. We are happy to help you sign up!
