$500 to be donated to Silver Spring Neighborhood Center each game Bucks bench scores 30 points
The Milwaukee Bucks Foundation and We Energies Foundation are teaming up for the fourth consecutive season of the Bench Mob Bonus program. Throughout the 2022-23 NBA regular season, each game the Bucks bench scores 30 points or more $500 will be donated by the We Energies Foundation to Silver Spring Neighborhood Center.
Through 23 games, the donation stands at $6,000 with the Bucks bench putting up 30 or more points in 12 games so far this season. The Bucks bench is averaging 31.6 points per game this season.
“We thank the We Energies Foundation for teaming up with the Bucks Foundation for a fourth year to help support Silver Spring Neighborhood Center in its effort to positively impact our community,” said Arvind Gopalratnam, Bucks Vice President of Corporate Social Responsibility.
Silver Spring Neighborhood Center serves families on Milwaukee’s north side by helping with education, employment, youth services and health and wellness. The funds will be used for its Layups and Literacy program, which layers reading comprehension, socialization and life lessons with offensive drills and defensive fundamentals to engage youth ages 10 to 12 on the court and in the classroom and provide academic, athletic and mentoring opportunities to young people.
“We are grateful for We Energies and the Milwaukee Bucks Foundation and their commitment to the youth we serve at Silver Spring Neighborhood Center," said Executive Director of Silver Spring Neighborhood Center Devin Hudson. "The financial commitment to our Layups and Literacy program creates an opportunity to emphasize reading alongside basketball fundamentals for the youth we serve.”
