The Free to Believe Award honors a volunteer who has been integral to Free Arts for multiple years. This award recognizes a volunteer whose longevity has been devoted and consistent.

Cheryl Kerivan became a Free Arts volunteer in the fall of 1998, and has been a Weekly Mentor at the Sojourner Domestic Violence shelter ever since.  She has volunteered her time at 14 MAC camps and participated on many MAC committees. She has volunteered at several Free Arts Days, a Professional Artist Series, Strengthening Families Through Art, and has also assisted in the Free Arts office.  Cheryl has been active in our Palette of Homes, Friends of Free Arts, and Art From the Heart fundraisers and has consistently donated to Free Arts’ programs.  We are honored to have Cheryl as such a consistent and dedicated volunteer! 

Congratulations, Cheryl! Thank you for your joy, dedication, and consistency with our children.
