Milwaukee County Parks, Molson Coors team up for fundraising campaign

MILWAUKEE - Molson Coors, in partnership with Milwaukee County Parks and Milwaukee Parks Foundation, kicked off on Wednesday, April 3, a two-year matching campaign to support Milwaukee County Parks.

"This means that for every dollar contributed to cheers to our parks, Molson Coors will match each dollar, making the impact doubly important with the collective effort and goal to raise $500,000 for the parks. We hope park enthusiasts, beer garden goers, community members and leaders will join us in raising the remaining 250,000," said Alison Hanrahan, Molson Coors Community Affairs Manager.

The announcement of this public-private partnership happened on the day Milwaukee County Parks opened the South Shore Terrace Kitchen + Beer Garden.

A news release says the fundraising campaign will run through 2025 and is "dedicated to fostering economic growth, stronger neighborhoods, sustainability and engagement across Milwaukee's park system."

"I also want to thank Molson Coors, as well as the Milwaukee Parks Foundation, for their dedication to our Milwaukee County parks and for their continued partnership with Milwaukee County," said Milwaukee County Executive David Crowley.

Molson Coors has donated over $600,000 in recent years to support South Shore Terrace Kitchen + Beer Garden, officials noted.
