Acuity Insurance announced that the 2022 Acuity Health Challenge raised more than $10,000 to benefit Aurora’s Medical Response Services for Abuse Victims.
“The Acuity Health Challenge reflects our commitment to wellness and our support for the well-being of the entire community,” said Ben Salzmann, President and CEO, Acuity.
In its tenth year, the Acuity Health Challenge featured a 5K or 2-mile run/walk. More than 450 people completed the Challenge in person, which was held on Acuity’s campus at 2800 South Taylor Drive in Sheboygan, and another 42 participants supported the event virtually. In addition to the Challenge itself, participants and spectators alike were welcomed to the event by Acuity’s Vendor Village, which hosted a variety of local vendors who help sponsor the highly anticipated goody bags provided to participants of the Challenge.
The 5k overall winners were, in the men’s division, Timmy Brey with a time of 15:29 and, in the women’s division, Miranda Cobb with a time of 22.36. In addition to a well-stocked goody bag and a custom race day T-shirt, the Health Challenge also provided lunch to participants, which included bagel sandwiches, homemade granola bars from Fresh Meals on Wheels, sausage and cheese sticks from Old Wisconsin, and Acuity Executive Chef Mike Luedke’s famous strawberry soup.
