Milwaukee Bucks head coach Mike Budenholzer and Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin have partnered for the third consecutive season to raise awareness and tackle hunger across the state with Coach Bud’s Assists for Hunger initiative. As part of the initiative, during the 2020-21 season Budenholzer will donate $15 to Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin for every assist the Bucks record, with a minimum commitment of $25,000.
Last season, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Budenholzer doubled his commitment to the initiative and donated $63,750 to Feeding America Eastern Wisconsin. Coupled with the 389 assists the Bucks have already racked up so far in the 2020-21 season, Budenholzer’s three-year total donation for his Assists for Hunger program currently stands at more than $100,000.
