As many organizations across Southeastern Wisconsin work to
make a difference in people’s lives this holiday season, the Bucks, too, will
be in the giving spirit. On Saturday, the team hosts “Charity Night,” presented
by FOX Sports Wisconsin Supports and the Cousins Subs Make It Better
Foundation.
With the Bucks set to take on the Charlotte Bobcats at 7:30
p.m., the first 7,500 fans through the BMO Harris Bradley Center doors will
receive a “Buck” (a $1 Bucks Charity Night voucher) to donate to one of nine
preselected charitable organizations. The nine Southeastern Wisconsin charities
that will have a presence at Saturday’s game are: Boys & Girls Clubs of
Greater Milwaukee, Feeding America, Fisher House Wisconsin, Gold in September,
Hunger Task Force, the Justin J. Watt Foundation, the MACC (Midwest Athletes
Against Childhood Cancer) Fund, Salvation Army and Special Olympics of
Wisconsin.
The organizations will have tables set up on the 200-level
concourse, and fans will have from the time doors open at 6 p.m. through the
end of halftime to select an organization to help this holiday season. In
addition to the $1 donations courtesy of FOX Sports Wisconsin and the Cousins
Subs Make It Better Foundation, fans are also encouraged to make additional
personal gifts to the charities of their choosing.
FOX Sports Wisconsin, the exclusive cable and satellite
partner of the Bucks, reaches more than 1.5 million homes and telecasts with

The Cousins Subs Make It Better Foundation was established
to improve the general welfare and quality of life in the communities Cousins
Subs serves. They aim to help by providing philanthropic contributions to
organizations that provide support in the three areas Cousins believes are
absolutely vital to any community: health/wellness, hunger and youth education.
