Cubs' Kyle Tucker Makes Announcement Before Brewers Game

As the Cubs prepare to face Milwaukee on Monday looking to avoid a 2–0 series deficit, Tucker took to Instagram to announce a gesture for fans ahead of Game 3. Tucker’s foundation shared a giveaway for Cubs fans looking to attend the first home game of the NLDS.

“It’s giveaway time again! We’re giving away 4 tickets to Game 3 of the NLDS as the Cubs take on the Brewers this Wednesday, October 8th! To enter: Follow @kyletuckerfoundation + @ktuck_30. Tag 3 friends you want to cheer with at Wrigley! Winner will be announced tomorrow at 6:00pm CT right here on this post and in our story—don’t miss your chance to be part of the postseason energy at Wrigley! A huge thank you to @cubscharities for their continued support of our mission,” wrote Tucker’s foundation on Instagram.

Tucker started his foundation to “raise awareness and provide support for hospice care programs, while also giving back to other meaningful causes in the community,” the website says.

The website continues to explain Tucker was motivated by a personal family experience. In 2021, his grandfather passed away under hospice care—a period that deeply affected his family. The compassion, dignity and comfort they witnessed during those final days left a lasting impression, inspiring Tucker and his family to give back and help other families receive the same level of support.

With fans rallying behind Tucker’s giveaway and postseason push, the Cubs will need his bat to respond in Game 2 against Milwaukee. Tucker may be playing in his only season with the Cubs, as he is set to hit unrestricted free agency in the offseason and will likely receive a long-term, high AAV (average annual value) deal.
