Muskegon, MI, April 18, 2019: Geerpres® has teamed up with Benjamin Olson and The Backyard Experience to provide the Acme Creativity Cart, a Chuck Jones Center for Creativity animated mobile art experience that provides interactive creative time for young hospital patients.
The Geerpres® Enterprise® EVS
Cart is transformed to not only look the part but to accommodate items such as
modeling clay, colored pencils, sticker books, crayons, coloring books, and
more. The goal is to create an environment where young patients get to
experience the healing joy and distraction of imagination and creativity while
receiving critical treatment.
“We are continuing a
cause that animation director Chuck Jones started in the 40s and 50s drawing
with children in hospitals to brighten their day,” said Benjamin Olson,
Board Chairman with The Backyard Experience. “The Acme Creativity Cart
allows young patients to explore their imaginations and be creative while
receiving much-needed care. Geerpres® has the perfect solution with
the Enterprise® EVS Cart for what we need to grow this wonderful
program responsibly by having a hospital ready cart with a locking storage
compartment, customizable accessories and an easy to wrap surface. We could not
have had a better fit.”
“What Ben
and The Backyard Experience are doing for children across this country is truly
exceptional,” said Scott Ribbe, President of Geerpres®. The
Enterprise® EVS Cart is a great fit for this project as it has a
modular design that is completely customizable. We are excited to see this
project take off!”
