The Bucks are once again taking the show on the road this fall with the third annual Milwaukee Bucks "Own the Future" Statewide Tour, presented by Pick ’n Save.
Bucks rookies Thon Maker and Malcolm Brogdon, along with Bango, the Milwaukee Bucks Dancers, Rim Rockers and other team entertainers, will make stops in several cities around the state over the weekends of Sept. 8-10 and 16-18.
The Bucks will hold a public tip off event for the tour outside the Roundy’s (parent company of Pick ‘n Save, Copps and Metro Market) headquarters (875 E. Wisconsin Ave.) on Wednesday, Sept. 7, from 12-1 p.m. During the event, attendees will enjoy their fun-filled lunch hour with the Milwaukee Bucks entertainment network featuring Bango, Milwaukee Bucks Dancers, Rim Rockers, Bucks Grand Dancers, Hoop Troop and special guest DJ O.
The Statewide Tour will feature Bucks players and personalities giving back to communities throughout the state through basketball clinics, giveaways, autograph signings and exciting performances by Bucks entertainment teams at a variety of local events.
Maker, the Bucks’ 10th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, will represent the Bucks on the first leg of the tour, which will make stops in Sauk City, Camp Douglas, La Crosse, Fort McCoy, Viroqua, Dodgeville, Platteville, Prairie du Chien, Richland, Blue Mounds, Madison, Monona and Cambridge. Brogdon, the 36th overall pick in the 2016 NBA Draft, headlines the second weekend of the tour from Sept. 16-18. Details of that trip will be released next week.
