Supporting Life-Saving Care
Proceeds from Groovin’ on the Green directly benefit Ridgeview Ambulance, helping provide advanced equipment, highly trained emergency professionals and rapid response services throughout the communities we serve.
These investments have a real impact on local families, including Kyle and Nikki, who relied on Ridgeview Ambulance during a medical emergency. Their experience demonstrates how donor support translates into expert care, hope and healing when it matters most.
