SHEBOYGAN – Acuity Insurance recently announced its 2023 Acuity Health Challenge raised more than $12,000 to benefit the Acuity Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at the Acuity Birthing Center of Aurora Medical Center-Sheboygan County.

“This annual event reflects our commitment to wellness and our support for the well-being of the entire community,” Acuity CEO Ben Salzmann said. 

Acuity President Melissa Winter said having a NICU available in Sheboygan helps the community by “allowing parents of children in need of intensive care to obtain care locally, rather than having to travel.”

In its 11th year, the Acuity Health Challenge featured a 5K or 2-mile run/walk.

This year, more than 550 people completed the challenge – up more than 20% from last year.

Jack Gasparick placed first in the men’s division, while Maggie Behler was the female winner.
