From CBS 58:

RACINE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- Get vaccinated and you could win a Milwaukee Bucks' signed basketball. 

The Bucks announced they teamed up with the city of Racine with the donation to encourage support vaccination efforts. 

“The Bucks are proud to support the City and County’s efforts to vaccinate their residents. As we head into the NBA finals and look forward to our fans filling Fiserv Forum, and thousands more joining us outside in Deer District to watch the game, we recognize that the COVID-19 vaccine is key to hosting these great events in person, in Milwaukee. We encourage Racine County residents to get vaccinated, to get entered to win a signed ball, and join us in Deer District to support the Bucks in the NBA Finals,” said Milwaukee Bucks President Peter Feigin.

As a reminder, Racine County residents can enter the drawing by getting vaccinated through July 17. The city and county have the goal of getting 3,000 more County residents vaccinated in the 30 days between the drawing’s announcement on June 17 and its conclusion on July 17.
