MILWAUKEE – The Milwaukee Brewers are proud to team up with corporate partners who are committed to supporting numerous nonprofit organizations, including the Club’s charitable arm, Brewers Community Foundation (BCF). The 2025 season brings a variety of charitable activations that will be visible throughout American Family Field and in the community.

Associated Bank and BCF Cheer for Here Campaign – Associated Bank and BCF are pleased to partner for a fifth year to support minority-owned, women-owned and veteran-owned businesses across the state of Wisconsin. Through a joint community program, numerous Wisconsin-based diverse small businesses will receive a $5,000 grant to support their growing business needs. The grants are provided through the Business Council and the Wisconsin Ethnic and Diverse Business Coalition. In addition to financial support, each business will receive access to tailored banking expertise from Associated Bank, including industry-leading products, services and financial education. Throughout the 2025 season, the businesses will receive visibility at American Family Field and in the community via various marketing and public relations campaigns.

Northwestern Mutual is committed to accelerating the search for better treatments and cures for childhood cancer – All season long, Northwestern Mutual will team up with the Milwaukee Brewers to support efforts to end childhood cancer. As part of the Research Batted In program, Northwestern Mutual will celebrate every Brewers run batted in (RBI) by funding five hours of research through Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). More than 3,700 hours were funded during the 2024 season, and the company hopes to surpass that number in 2025.

Additionally, in-person activations will also take place to allow fans to help support the cause. During the series against the St. Louis Cardinals (September 12-14), Northwestern Mutual and the Brewers will host Childhood Cancer Awareness Weekend and donate $1 for every ticket sold to ALSF. Fans in attendance that weekend will be encouraged to round up their total for purchases at concessions stands and the Brewers Team Store to further support the cause. Furthermore, a Childhood Cancer Champion will be celebrated at each of the three games with a ceremonial first pitch and additional VIP experiences. Fans that are interested in supporting the cause can donate online here. All proceeds benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation to help fund research to cure childhood cancer.
