(WTAQ-WLUK) — Children in communities across Northeast Wisconsin will have a chance to receive comic book-inspired Brewers trading cards from local police officers.
It’s a program that began last year through a partnership between the Milwaukee Brewers and the Milwaukee Police Department. Officers distributed Brewers trading card prints to kids, finding common ground through their mutual love for baseball.
After the initiative saw such success in its inaugural run, officials decided to expand the program statewide this season.
The Green Bay Police Department was among the agencies who got involved earlier this year, and now, 30 other law enforcement offices in Wisconsin are joining in on the fun.
Participating police departments from our area include:
- Appleton
- De Pere
- Fond du Lac
- Manitowoc
- Oshkosh
- Sheboygan
- Sturgeon Bay
This season’s trading cards feature some Milwaukee Brewers fan favorites, including outfielders Christian Yelich, Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick; catcher William Contreras and infielders Brice Turang and Joey Ortiz.
The cards are uniquely designed to imitate comic book art, with high-energy colors, popular phrases and a twist on traditional comic onomatopoeia such as “Ka-Brew!”
If your local police department isn’t on this list, don’t worry — the Brewers say there are “many more agencies that have expressed interest in participating in the future” and the team intends to expand the trading card program even further next season.
