Shop with a Buck is a Holiday Annual Event in partnership with Gruber Law Offices Season of Giving, working with Gruber and Teams, MPS First Nations, and Community Partners.

“Shop with a Buck worked with MPS First Nations and Community Partners, where two kids paired up with one player.

Five Players were selected, and the following players were the first to sign up.“

Last year, “Kohl’s provided the storefront, food, and wrapped gifts. Honorees were given $400 gift cards to Kohls.” 

In addition, one of the five players gave each participant a new pair of shoes purchased from Footlocker in Bayshore.

Aniyah’s Testimony

First Nations chose people they thought should go shopping with the Milwaukee Bucks. On Thursday, December 14th, 2023, ten students from Milwaukee Public Schools, two from Pulaski, one from Reagan, one from Audubon, one from Bradley Tech, and two from South Division or North Division, and three more shopped with the Bucks under First Nations according to Casimir Pulaski’s High School honoree, Aniyah.

“Everyone met at Ho-Chunk Office, Headquarters of Native American kids.”

“Bucks provided a Coach Bus, took us downtown where the new Kohls are, and walked us to another building where a store was. The Bucks had a room decorated along with catering food. The food was good, but the chef did not know who had allergies. They had fried meat like Puerto Ricans make, brisket, and more.”

“After shopping, they gave us a chocolate bomb, so when we made hot chocolate.”

“My sister, Emily, goes to Reagan. We have a big family of nine. At first, they weren’t going to let us go. One of the people said let them go.” 

My little sister and I got picked out of those ten kids. 

They had someone make food for us, like cornbread, chicken, mac and cheese, some veggies, cheese curds, and some other foods 

They gave us kids 400 dollars to spend. 

I got my little sister a perfume kit,  my older sister a blanket, 

my dad has an Adidas Binnie,  my older brother some cologne, 

and my boyfriend some cologne as well.  Then after shopping, they took us for a bit of surprise and took us to Footlocker for some new shoes.

I got myself some Jordans 4’s that are green and my boyfriend’s Air Forces that are black and white. 

Then they took us back to where we were eating and wrapped presents with us.
