Avive Named First Aid Sponsor of the Good Life Halfsy, Nebraska's Largest Half Marathon

Avive Solutions, Inc. will provide 25 Avive Connect AED®s to support runner and spectator safety at the 13th annual event.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 6, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Avive Solutions, Inc. will serve as the First Aid Sponsor of the 2026 Good Life Halfsy, the largest half marathon in Nebraska. As part of the sponsorship, Avive will provide 25 Avive Connect AED®s to support the safety efforts for the event's participants and spectators.

Now in its 13th year, the Good Life Halfsy has grown into a signature community event, with 9,500 registered runners and more than 20,000 spectators expected along the course and at the finish line. The event is projected to generate a $3.4 million economic impact for the region.

"The safety of our runners, spectators, and volunteers is always a top priority at Pink Gorilla Events. With thousands of people coming together for the Good Life Halfsy, having the right safety resources in place is an important part of our event planning. We're excited to partner with Avive to bring additional AEDs to the course and strengthen our race-day emergency preparedness efforts," said Jason Bakewell, Good Life Halfsy Co-Race Director.

A Connected Approach to Cardiac Emergencies

Avive AEDs will be carried along the course by the event's medical volunteers, placing them in the hands of trained professionals who can use them to deliver lifesaving care if needed. Designed for fast, confident use in any situation, the Avive AED features an intuitive touchscreen, real-time CPR guidance during a rescue, and clear visual instructions, so anyone can respond quickly and effectively, even without prior training.

Weighing just 2.1 pounds, the Avive AED is the smallest and lightest FDA-approved AED on the market, making it easy for responders to carry and store. Its universal electrode pads work on both adults and children, eliminating the need to purchase separate, costly pediatric keys or pads. To treat a child between 1 and 8 years old, responders simply press the Child button.

Through its events, Pink Gorilla Events brings thousands of runners, volunteers, and spectators together while creating opportunities to give back to the communities that make race day possible.
