SPRING VALLEY, WI – It was a cold and windy day in Spring Valley, Wisconsin on Saturday, December13, 2025. Despite the chilly weather it was warm and joyous in the Spring Valley EMS building. This year’s 12th Annual Spring Valley Area Ambulance (SVAAS) Holiday Cookie Walk was our best yet!
We had over 100 trays of cookies for the “picking.” Members of the SVAA had spent the last few days in their kitchens baking and we had a steady flow of the community members stop in throughout the event to stock up for the holidays. We have one of the absolute best communities and we love their support! Best part, it was all for a FREE WILL DONATION!!
100% of the funds raised will be added to our Healthcare Education Scholarship Fund Program, which will benefit our local high school students entering the healthcare field.
Here is our message to Paul Seeling and Cari Cornelius at Gateway Publishing and the Sun-Argus newspaper. Merry Christmas and THANK YOU for all of your stories over the years! We have loved working with you. This community will be a bit dimmer without the newspaper in circulation, but your impact will continue through the voices you amplified, the history you preserved, and the connections you built! I wish you nothing but peace, joy, and well-earned rest in this next chapter, and hope the holidays bring warmth and pride in all you’ve accomplished over the years.
Thank you to all the wonderful supporters of the 12th Annual Spring Valley Area Ambulance Holiday Cookie Walk, it was our best yet! We are honored to serve this great community. See you next year at the 13th Annual Spring Valley Area Ambulance Holiday Cookie Walk.
Merry Christmas and Joyous Holidays to you all!
