Fans are accustomed to receiving bobble heads, t-shirts or other assorted tchotchkes as giveaways at sporting events. FOX Sports Wisconsin teamed up with Cousins Subs and the Milwaukee Bucks to present a unique promotion on Saturday, November 23 -- the inaugural Bucks Night of Giving.
The first 7,500 fans though the gates received a "Bango buck" to donate to charities present on the concourse at the game. Each organization received a check for the number of bucks they collected. The Cousins Subs Make It Better Foundation is planning to match that amount for each organization.
FOX Sports Wisconsin employees and the FOX Sports Wisconsin Girls got into the giving spirit, wearing their FOX Sports Wisconsin Supports t-shirts, answer questions about the promotion and helping direct fans to the charities. Local sales manager, Laurie Elliott also appeared on Bucks Live to promote the event and announce the updated 2014 FOX Sports Wisconsin Supports platform.
The nine non-profits were selected by FOX Sports Wisconsin, Cousins Subs and the Bucks. Extending the "charity theme," all of the organizations also received tickets to attend the game.
