Brillion, WI — January 5, 2023 — Ariens Nordic Center is thrilled to announce a collaboration with Wipfli LLP (Wipfli), a top 20 advisory and accounting firm, to enhance community engagement and promote outdoor recreation in the Brillion area.
As part of this partnership, Wipfli returns as the Ice Cream Sponsor for the annual Mike Ariens Run/Walk, a community event presented by AriensCo. The event returns for its second running August 17, 2024. The run/walk is a tribute to the late Mike Ariens, former Chairman and CEO of AriensCo and an avid runner. The event brings runners and walkers, young and old, together to celebrate health, wellness, and a sense of togetherness within our community. Ice cream was Mike’s favorite treat and is given to all participants at the finish to celebrate their accomplishments.
Additionally, Wipfli will proudly sponsor the dazzling fireworks display at the upcoming Ariens King of Snow® Festival, slated to take place January 20-21, 2024. The Ariens King of Snow Festival promises two days of excitement, featuring music, bonfires, kids’ activities, the Snow Crown Series Fat Bike Race, open trails for fat bikes, the Ariens King of Snow® Ski Race for both adults and kids, and the spectacular fireworks show presented by Wipfli.
