Brewers Wives Impact Milwaukee Community Through Charitable Efforts

MILWAUKEE – The Brewers Wives, in partnership with Brewers Community Foundation (BCF), team up each season to raise funds through special events and charitable efforts. This year, the Brewers Wives will hold their annual “Jerseys Off Their Backs” raffle, host an annual “Favorite Things Basket Online Auction,” and finally, roll out a special retail line that benefits Sojourner Family Peace Center.

“Jerseys Off Their Backs”
Friday, July 7 at 7:10 p.m. at American Family Field
Brewers Wives are available for interviews leading up to July 7, as well as in game on July 7.
Look for Brewers Wives onsite when the Crew takes on the Cincinnati Reds at 7:10 p.m. at American Family Field. Brewers Wives will be available throughout the ballpark selling raffle tickets for a donation of $5 or five tickets for $20. Twenty-six lucky winners will receive an autographed City Connect jersey, coming straight off the back of the players playing in the game on July 7.

“Favorite Things Basket Online Auction”
Sunday, July 25 at 6:30 p.m. at American Family Field – Suite 68
Media are invited to capture broll and interview Brewers Wives as they build baskets of their partner’s favorite things for the annual “Favorite Things Basket Online Auction,” which takes place Aug. 3-9. The baskets include the players’ and coaches’ favorite items, arranged creatively in baskets by their partner or spouse. The annual auction is a fan favorite and the Wives take great pride in creating personalized baskets to raise money for charity. Online bidding is available at brewers.com/WivesAuction, Aug. 3-9.

Brewers Wives Retail Line
Coming in July
Brewers Wives are available for interviews leading up to launch.
The Brewers Wives are working in partnership with local retailer Brew City to create an exclusive retail collection that will be available only at the Brewers Team Store, with a portion of the proceeds going to the Sojourner Family Peace Center. The collection will include men’s and women’s pieces and is available only until supplies last. Previous Brewers Wives retail pieces have been wildly popular and sold quickly.

Proceeds from the fundraising efforts will also benefit the Brewers Community Foundation. BCF harnesses the pride, passion and commitment of Brewers fans, players and other supporters to positively impact the lives of children and their families in the Greater Milwaukee area and throughout Wisconsin. For more than a decade, BCF has generated more than $50 million to support local non-profits in the areas of health, education, recreation and basic needs. Approximately 200 non-profit organizations receive funding annually through the Foundation’s initiatives.
