The Milwaukee Bucks and Wisconsin-based Sargento Foods Inc. are teaming up during the 2019-20 season to support Habitat for Humanity in Milwaukee with the “Tipoff for Homes” initiative. For every tipoff the Bucks win throughout the upcoming regular season, Sargento will donate $500 to Habitat for Humanity.
“We’re thrilled to be able to team up with Sargento to help support Habitat for Humanity here in Milwaukee,” said Bucks and Fiserv Forum President Peter Feigin. “The Bucks place an emphasis on community betterment, so to have our play on the court impact a great community partner, with the help of Sargento, it’s a perfect partnership.”
“Sargento has been working with Habitat for Humanity for almost 30 years, and our new Tipoff for Homes program brings our hometown basketball team into the fight to bring more affordable housing to Milwaukee,” said Louie Gentine, CEO of Sargento Foods. “We’re excited to partner with the Bucks and are ready for a great season.”
Led by Brook Lopez, last season the Bucks were very successful with the opening tip as they won the tip-off in 59 of their 82 regular season games, including in 30 of their 41 home games at Fiserv Forum.
