MKE Recovery Nights Initiative

Our MKE Recovery Night events bring the recovery community together at traditionally recovery-hostile festivities: sporting events. We host sober tailgates and provide free tickets for a Brewers, Admirals, and Bucks game each season. 

In collaboration with The Phoenix and Rogers Behavioral Health and through partnerships with local sports teams, treatment providers, recovery organizations, and community supporters, MKE Recovery Night creates welcoming environments where recovery can be celebrated publicly.  

MKE Recovery Night: Brewers update and more!

Our second annual Brewers MKE Recovery Night on September 8th, 2026, was a success! Over 1,000 folks attended the Sober Tailgate, and more than 1,500 came to the game. Our next MKE Recovery Night is the Admirals on December 1st, followed by the Bucks game on March 31st! Join the MKE Recovery Night Facebook Group for more information on both the Admirals’ and the Bucks’ upcoming sober tailgates and games this season. Thank you to all who came for a night of community and joy. And always thank you to our sponsors for making these nights happen for the recovery community. If you have questions about the upcoming MKE Recovery Nights, feel free to email recovery@marquette.edu.
