Holiday Cookies

Sweet Support: Keystone RV Hosts Cookie Walk to Benefit AASR


The Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint is thrilled to share a heartwarming example of community generosity from our friends at Keystone RV in Indiana. On Friday, December 12th, employees from the company’s customer service department held a Cookie Walk fundraiser to support our mission—and it was a huge success!

With an incredible display of teamwork and creativity, every department in the customer service division joined in to bake, organize, and sell an enticing variety of cookies and treats.

According to Amy Thomas, Manager of Administrative Services at Keystone RV, “Every department in customer service stepped up to make this happen. To all our bakers, prep and clean-up people, and cookie customers – a huge thank you! My heart swells with pride knowing I work with such a generous group of professionals.”

Thanks to their efforts, and to the sweet tooths of many generous customers, the event raised $740 to benefit the Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint. These funds will directly support our ongoing work to promote safer, more compassionate, and trauma-informed practices in schools across the nation.

Creative fundraisers like this remind us how grassroots efforts can make a real impact. AASR extends our deepest gratitude to the entire Keystone RV customer service team for turning holiday cheer into meaningful change.

If you’re looking for a fun way to bring people together and support positive change, consider organizing your own cookie walk, bake sale, or community event to benefit AASR. Every batch of cookies and every act of kindness helps move us closer to a world where all children are treated with dignity and respect.
