Brewers Community Foundation Announces 2024 Drive for Charity Events

MILWAUKEE – Brewers Community Foundation (BCF) today announced the schedule for its 2024 Drive for Charity events, presented by the BCF Leadership Council. The 2024 Drive for Charity, a series of donation opportunities supporting non-profits in Greater Milwaukee and Wisconsin, will mark the 20th anniversary of the program.

Media sponsor 620 WTMJ is supporting the first event of the year, benefiting the Wisconsin Humane Society. The event will be hosted as a Drive-Thru at American Family Field on Thursday, April 4 from 7 a.m. – 3 p.m. in the Cooper parking lot, near Helfaer Field. In addition, the first 250 fans who donate at the Drive-Thru will receive a Brewers hat and two Loge Level tickets for a future Brewers home game. Fans can also donate in-stadium during the April 5-7 homestand against the Seattle Mariners with donation tables located inside American Family Field at the Potawatomi (right-field), Home Plate and Left-Field gate entrances. Those donating or making a $10 contribution will receive a collectible Pat Murphy and Rickie Weeks pin.

The Wisconsin Humane Society is collecting pet supplies and has a high need for items such as: moist dog treats, dog potty pads, peanut butter, unscented baby wipes, dog toys, pet food and cat litter. The Wisconsin Humane Society wish list offers additional detail.

For the Drive-Thru event on Thursday, April 4, fans can expect BCF employees and volunteers onsite to accept donations through car windows or trunks. Online donations, made at brewers.com/DriveForCharity, of at least $10 between April 4-7 will also receive the collectible Pat Murphy and Rickie Weeks commemorative pin.
