DSAW-Central
We had a jolly good time at DSAW Central's Santa's Workshop! Families gathered to create holiday magic, decorating cookies, crafting cards, and adorning ornaments. We even had a chance to shop for gifts for loved ones. And the icing on the cake? A surprise visit from Santa Claus himself! Thanks to everyone who joined us for a day of festive fun.
DSAW-Chippewa Valley
DSAW-Chippewa Valley had a GREAT turnout at this year's Holiday Party with almost 90 people! Through the generous donations earned at our annual Awareness Walk, DSAW was able to supply gifts for 46 children! We also had holiday arts and crafts projects to work on and a wonderfully delicious food buffet was enjoyed by all! It was SO COOL to see Santa and Mrs Clause (and their elves!), but the best part might have been seeing everyone enjoy the Holidays together!
DSAW-Fox Cities
In December, DSAW-Fox Cities celebrated the holiday season with two festive events! We strolled through the magical Fox Cities Festival of Lights, sipping hot cocoa and enjoying the company of friends. Later, we spent a cheerful Sunday afternoon at the theater, laughing through A Christmas Story in our own private screening, complete with plenty of popcorn. What a wonderful way to wrap up the year together!

December was packed with festive fun and community connection!

On December 7, we celebrated the end of our Fall Buddy Up Tennis season with a special holiday party featuring festive activities and plenty of tennis. Finally, our Holiday Party on December 14 brought DSAW friends and family together for an afternoon of cookie decorating, crafts, snacks, games, and laughter—a perfect way to celebrate the season!

What a special way to enjoy the holiday season!

In December, our Community Life Skills Hub-South Central participants sponsored a local family, providing Christmas gifts and fulfilling the children’s wish lists, thanks to generous donations. They also enjoyed holiday painting, exploring music stores, arcade games, mall visits, making instruments, and learning about topics like tech safety, sustainability, and meal planning. Weekly volunteering at the Sunshine Place remained a highlight!
