MILWAUKEE, July 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Associated Bank and
Brewers Community Foundation will team up for the second year to
host a tool collection drive at Miller Park on Wednesday, August 10. Fans can exchange new or
gently used tools for free tickets to that evening's Brewers vs.
Atlanta Braves game at 7:10 p.m. For
each tool donated, fans will receive a free Loge Level ticket (up
to a maximum of 8 tickets per person, while supplies last).
All tools will be donated to Housing Resources, Inc. (HRI), a
nonprofit organization in Milwaukee dedicated to helping individuals and
families purchase and maintain their own homes. The HRI Tool Loan
Center provides tools to local homeowners who wish to do their own
repairs and maintenance on their homes and they either can't afford
to buy tools, don't have the room to store tools or only need them
for a one-time use. HRI also loans tools to community organizations
to do neighborhood clean-ups, beautification or maintenance
projects. For more information about HRI and approved tools to
donate, visit hri-wi.org. A list of approved tools for donation is
provided below.
There will be two donation locations on the Miller Park Plaza -
one near the Associated Check In Gate by the pedestrian bridge and
one near Home Plate Gate. Donations will be accepted from
4:30 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.
"Because we want to support and empower homeowners to maintain
their homes and improve the quality of life in our community, we
are proud to partner with Brewers Community Foundation to support
the HRI Tool Loan Center," said Christopher
Piotrowski, executive vice president and chief marketing
officer at Associated Bank. "We encourage Brewer fans to donate new
or gently used tools to this very worthy cause and help make a
positive difference in Milwaukee
neighborhoods."
"Brewers Community Foundation appreciates partnering with
Associated Bank particularly as it relates to the critical need of
housing," said Brewers Community Foundation Executive Director
Cecelia Gore. "Corporate
partnerships with quality nonprofits assure that needed resources
support individuals and organizations that are having a significant
impact on our community."
