The 2019 Acuity Health Challenge will be held Saturday, July 20. The Challenge features a 2-mile or 5K run/walk, with donation “sleep in” and virtual race alternatives.

Proceeds from the 2019 Challenge will support the Aurora Behavioral Health & Wellness Center’s efforts, including mental health as well as alcohol and other drug abuse (AODA) treatment. To extend the continuum of care, Aurora Health Care will be adding outpatient programming focused on adolescent and adult mental health as well as alcohol and drug addiction services in a therapeutic group setting. 

“As a community, we recognize there is a need for enhanced mental health and AODA outpatient services for Sheboygan and surrounding communities,” says Kari Wimmer, Manager, Community Outreach at Aurora Sheboygan Memorial Medical Center.

New this year is that the entire Acuity Health Challenge course will be on Acuity’s campus at 2800 South Taylor Drive in Sheboygan. The event begins at 8:00 a.m., and age group awards will be presented to winners in each category from 14 and under to 65 and older. Parking will be available at Acuity. The event also features a Vendor Expo, located at the start/finish line.

The early entry fee for the Acuity Health Challenge is only $20 until June 30, then $30 through July 18. Same-day registration is available for $35. For more information and to register for the Challenge, visit acuity.com/ahc or facebook.com/AcuityHealthChallenge.
