MILWAUKEE (March 8, 2026) – The Milwaukee Bucks will celebrate Women’s Empowerment Night, presented by BMO, tonight, March 8, when they host the Orlando Magic at 7 p.m. at Fiserv Forum.

An exclusive Women’s History Month T-shirt will be available in the Bucks Pro Shop at Fiserv Forum and online at www.shop.bucks.com. A portion of the shirt’s proceeds will benefit the TEMPO Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to advancing emerging and experienced women leaders across Wisconsin through undergraduate scholarships and professional development grants.

Fans at the game are encouraged to visit the Kohl’s Court at Section 121 to share a note of gratitude or words of encouragement for an influential woman in their life. A virtual marketplace will also be available at www.bucks.com/impact for fans to support local women-owned businesses, including Chet & Leona’s Floral Shop and SheWolfMKE, which will be highlighted during the game.

Tonight’s national anthem will be performed by electric violinist and Wisconsin native Ashley Rewolinski. International touring speed painter Annika Wooten will create a painting inspired by women in sports history at halftime, and the Fond du Lac Cardinal Skippers, a competitive jump rope team, will perform during the game. Fans will also hear a special pregame mix from DJ AK Stan, while DJ Mixx’Chelle, DJ Gemini Gilly, DJ Aviator, DJ MegNice and DJ MelDown entertain fans on the concourse.

Bonnie Oleson, public address announcer for the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s women’s basketball, volleyball and softball teams, will return to take over PA responsibilities throughout the game. The Bucks will spotlight Natisha Hiedeman, Marquette University alumna and guard for the WNBA’s Minnesota Lynx, during the game. Hiedeman will also attend a pregame panel and networking event at GATHER at Deer District alongside local women leaders. The special ticket package required to gain access to the panel can be purchased HERE.

The first 10,000 fans in attendance tonight will receive the second hat in this season’s BMO Bucks Custom Cap Series, which was designed by Bucks center Myles Turner.
