MILWAUKEE BUCKS FOUNDATION GOLF OUTING
When the Milwaukee Bucks Foundation launched in 2016, they were looking for a partner to help them execute a golf outing that would raise money for underserved communities in Wisconsin.
Each year, Capture Sports & Entertainment works to concept the guest experience, educate attendees on the foundation’s mission, reduce costs, and create new sponsorship and fundraising opportunities.
The goal of the event was to net over $100,000 and create a memorable event for volunteers, golfers, and Milwaukee Bucks Players. In the inaugural five years, the golf outing has raised over $1,000,000.
THE STORY
Guests walk the red carpet in style as they arrive each year for 18 holes of golf at the Milwaukee Bucks Foundation Golf Outing.
Milwaukee Bucks players, alumni, coaches and staff, including Giannis Antetokounmpo, Matthew Dellavedova, Khris Middleton, Michael Redd, Vin Baker, Fred Roberts, Coach Bud and others greet guests as they arrive and accompany the foursomes during the tournament.
Guests enjoy a fun afternoon of golf, participate in shooting the ‘golf ball cannon,’ dine at food trucks along the course, drink signature beverages from the Bucks partners, and even take photos with the 2021 NBA Championship trophy!
