WEEKLY WINDOW INTO KMMS
DECEMBER'S THEME IS "GIVING BACK."
Giving can lead to more giving! When our country shut down in March of 2020, many people’s jobs were lost temporarily, or even permanently. This included many jobs at the Fiserv Forum, where the Milwaukee Bucks play. That same month, Giannis Antetokounmpo pledged to donate $100,000 to the Fiserv Forum staff who were unable to work at that time. Following Giannis’ statement, fellow all-star Khris Middleton followed suit and also pledged $100,000.
