Woodchucks and Aspirus Raise $7,000 for Safe Kids Marathon County

Wausau, WI – When the Wausau Woodchuck took the field on August 2^nd against the Fond du Lac Dock Spiders, they did so in specialty Hawaiian jerseys in designed in partnership with Aspirus Health. These jerseys were auctioned off to fans during the game, and a few were raffled off in the games after. The proceeds from these jerseys were donated to Safe Kids Marathon County.

The Woodchucks and Aspirus Health are pleased to announce that a total of $7,000 was raised! The organization will use the proceeds to continue to provide car-seat checkups, safety workshops and sports clinics that help parents and caregivers prevent childhood injuries.

Thank you Aspirus Health for partnering with us on to help give back to this important program in our community!
