MILWAUKEE – Brewers Community Foundation (BCF), the charitable arm of the Milwaukee Brewers, today announced that more than $2 million was raised this season through the Foundation’s numerous events, programs, donations and fundraising initiatives.
In 2021, approximately 125 non-profit organizations received funding from BCF to support programs in the areas of health, education, recreation, basic needs and social justice issues including: Fisher House Wisconsin, Sharp Literacy, Habitat for Humanity, African American Chamber of Commerce, United Community Center, Penfield Children’s Center and Journey House.
Every player on the team's roster, along with investors, Brewers Wives, fans, sponsors, and members of the front office, contributed to BCF through financial contributions and involvement in community events. This support comes in a year that saw American Family Field start at limited capacity and grow to full capacity – a factor that directly contributes to the fundraising efforts of BCF.
“BCF relies on our generous fans and many community efforts to raise money for these integral community organizations,” said BCF Executive Director Cecelia Gore. “I’m proud of the support we’ve been able to provide and as the season progressed, we had increasingly more ability to partner with our fans and fundraise within the community. We are thankful for the support and for the opportunity to provide funding to many essential non-profits in Wisconsin.”
