MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Bucks forward Andre Jackson Jr. is hosting a coat drive to help keep local kids warm this winter.
The drive will be held in the Plaza at Deer District before Bucks games on Jan. 14, 15, and 17.
Fans are encouraged to donate new or gently used coats, hats, gloves, and scarves. All donations will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee and the Greater Amsterdam School District.
Online donations can also be made here.
The Milwaukee Bucks are also partnering with Make-A-Wish to fulfill the wishes of four children following the team’s shootaround on Tuesday, Jan. 14, at the Froedtert & the Medical College of Wisconsin Sports Science Center.
Froedtert and the Medical College of Wisconsin will expand to a new clinic that will be intended to offer better care for those who identify as LGBTQ.
Each child will meet Bucks General Manager Jon Horst to sign one-day contracts with the team, watch the shootaround, and meet Bucks players and coaches.
That evening, the team will host the children and their families at Fiserv Forum for the game against the Sacramento Kings.
