MILWAUKEE, April 11, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Associated Bank will once again partner with the Milwaukee Brewers to give fans the "Home Crew Advantage" through exclusive interactive activities in-stadium, online and in the community.

Fans participate in Associated Bank’s exclusive “virtual sausage race” as part of the enhanced Miller Park onsite experience

"Associated Bank is proud to continue our relationship with the Milwaukee Brewers," said Christopher Piotrowski, executive vice president and chief marketing officer, Associated Bank. "We are excited for Brewers fans to experience the home crew advantage of banking with Associated by offering them a variety of new and exclusive opportunities to celebrate their team pride throughout the season."

New this year, as part of an enhanced Miller Park onsite experience, Associated Bank will be giving fans the opportunity to participate in our exclusive "virtual sausage race". Fans will be able to pick their favorite Miller Park sausage character and race against their friends and family. In addition, all fans can scan their ticket to "spin to win" an assortment of prizes, including game tickets, Brewers branded premium items, Brewers sunglasses and more, all at the Associated Bank Experience located behind Section 113.

Adding to the excitement, Associated Bank is proud to partner with WTMJ-AM/FM radio, home of the Milwaukee Brewers and Bob Uecker to sponsor the "Associated Bank Brewers Radio Network." Uecker will voice 30-second radio spots as well as live reads during Brewers games throughout the season. Fans will have the opportunity to enter a Bob Uecker meet & greet sweepstakes later this season, complete with suite-level tickets and parking passes to attend that day's game. Details around this and other sweepstakes will be promoted on Associated's Facebook and Twitter pages later in the season.

Taking place now through May 3, fans can enter the Associated Bank Brewers Ticket Sweepstakes for a chance to receive six tickets and two parking passes to attend an upcoming game from the exclusive Associated Bank Check Deck. Located in the outfield, the Associated Bank Check Deck provides fans an all-inclusive ballpark experience, complete with food, beverage and a unique view of the game and bullpen.

Associated is committed to giving back through a variety of fun and interactive initiatives including supporting the work of nonprofit organizations that strengthen our communities.

For the fourth consecutive year Associated Bank and Brewers Community Foundation are teaming up to support Housing Resources, Inc. (HRI) through the Hits for Homes program. For every Brewers hit recorded during home games, $150 will be donated to HRI, up to a total of $100,000. Each hit and corresponding donation will be tallied on the Associated Bank LED board, located above the Associated Bank Check Deck. Donations to HRI will be used to provide emergency and essential home-repair grants to low-to moderate-income homeowners in the counties HRI serves.

To further support the community and again in partnership with Brewers Community Foundation, Associated Bank will host the popular Stock the Box^TM tool drive on Father's Day, June 17 to collect new or gently-used tools for HRI. The event will be held at Miller Park with multiple donation points at the Check-In gate and throughout the stadium. For each tool donated, fans will receive a free Loge Level ticket (up to a maximum of eight tickets per person) for a future Brewers home game.

Associated Bank's business partners will also benefit from the Home Crew Advantage through exclusive events and experiences including behind-the-scenes batting practices and access to the Associated Bank Check Deck.
