WISCONSIN HERD TO PARTNER WITH WINNEBAGO COUNTY FOR SECOND ANNUAL MARVEL SUPER HERD™ NIGHT

The Wisconsin Herd, NBA G League affiliate of the Milwaukee Bucks, will partner with Winnebago County to host Marvel Super Hero™ Night on Saturday, March 16 at 7:00 pm.

The night will feature special uniforms inspired by Captain America and a limited-edition Herd/Marvel comic book giveaway for the first 2,500 fans. The comic book portrays Captain America, Black Panther, and the Wisconsin Herd in the Marvel Universe.

The game-worn jerseys will be auctioned online at https://herdmarvel.givesmart.com now until March 23 at noon. Proceeds will benefit the Winnebago Area Literacy Council, which strengthens our community by developing and delivering free learner-centered literacy programs for adults and their families.

In addition to this theme night, the Wisconsin Herd and Winnebago County collaborated with all five libraries in the County to host a winter reading program in tandem with the Herd. The reading programs include Herd branded prizing such as bookmarks, posters, water bottles, tickets to the Herd Marvel game, and signed Marvel comics to encourage children to read. At the game, libraries will be in attendance so kids and adults can sign up for a library reading card. The jerseys will also feature the five Winnebago County libraries on the neckline.
