Brewers help with back-to-school shopping

Milwaukee Brewers rookies Sal Frelick and Joey Wiemer helped Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee kids with back-to-school shopping Tuesday.

GREENFIELD, Wis. - Some Milwaukee Brewers players were busy with back-to-school shopping Tuesday, Aug. 8 – helping kids get ready.

Rookies Sal Frelick and Joey Wiemer joined 20 kids from Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater Milwaukee at the Greenfield Meijer. Each kid received a $125 gift card to shop for supplies and anything else they might need to go back to class.

"I remember when I was back-to-school shopping. It is always stressful," said Frelick. "I think it is nice that we're able to knock it out all at once for all this kids, so it's kind of nice."
