Acuity Insurance announced that the Acuity Charitable Foundation is supporting the efforts of Olivia Harlan and Sam Dekker to raise money for the Children’s Cancer Family Foundation (CCFF). The Acuity Charitable Foundation will match donations up to $25,000.

Dekker is a Sheboygan native and professional basketball player for the Los Angeles Clippers. Harlan's family resides in Door County, and she is an ESPN sideline reporter. They are set to be married in July. Instead of wedding gifts, the couple asked guests and fans to donate money to the CCFF, which helps families in Northeast Wisconsin who have been affected by childhood cancer. Originally, the couple targeted a goal of $15,000. Having surpassed that due to an incredible outpouring of support, they increased the goal to $50,000.

“We are incredibly moved by the support of Acuity and their generous donation to the Children’s Cancer Family Foundation,” said Sam Dekker. “We hope it spurs more donations and pushes us past our goal.” Olivia Harlan added.

“We believe in supporting organizations that are working to make a difference in the fight against childhood cancer,” said Ben Salzmann, Acuity President and CEO. “We are honored to help Olivia and Sam raise funds to help the CCFF in its vital mission.”
