Milwaukee Bucks and Sargento Team Up for Seventh Season of Tipoff for Homes

MILWAUKEE (Oct. 17, 2025) – The Milwaukee Bucks and Sargento, the Official Cheese of the Bucks, are teaming up for the seventh season of the Tipoff for Homes initiative to support Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity. For each opening tipoff the Bucks win during the 2025-26 regular season, Sargento will donate $500 to Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity.

“Through six seasons of the Tipoff for Homes initiative, Sargento and Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity have created affordable new homes for Milwaukee families,” said Bucks and Fiserv Forum President Peter Feigin. “We’re proud of the positive impact it has had and will continue to have on our community.”

Since 2019, Sargento has donated $212,500 to Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity. Sargento was the first corporate sponsor of Milwaukee Habitat for Humanity since 1992.

“Homeownership provides security and stability for families, and Milwaukee Habitat shares our belief that housing should be accessible and affordable,” said third generation Sargento Chairman and CEO Louie Gentine. “Every year for more than 30 years, Sargento has sponsored a Habitat home in Milwaukee. Thanks to our partnership with the Bucks, we now have 41 homes built by the Sargento Family, continuing our commitment to giving back.”
