Serra Subaru of Traverse City will deliver 80 blankets with handwritten messages of hope to Munson Medical Center's Cowell Family Cancer Center on Friday, July 13 at 11am.

The truckload of blankets will be accompanied by hand-written notes of encouragement from Subaru customers who bought vehicles from Serra Subaru during the “Subaru Loves to Care” campaign. The event is part of a larger national initiative from Subaru of America, Inc. and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) to support cancer patients and their families.

Serra Subaru partnered with the Cowell Family Cancer Center to donate 50 blankets last year, increasing the donation to 80 this year for patients receiving treatment for leukemia and lymphoma. Serra Subaru Executive Managers Jerry Zezulka and Jim Tuohy and General Sales Manager Mike McFarlan will be on hand to present the blankets to Kathleen LaRaia, executive director of oncology services for Munson.
