T-Mobile contributes $50,000 to finance the Disabled American Veterans' Patriots Pitch competition for veterans with disabilities
In a continued effort to champion veterans, their families, and small businesses, T-Mobile has renewed its support for Disabled American Veterans (DAV) by donating $50,000 to the organisation [1]. This generous contribution will be used to sponsor DAV's veteran entrepreneurship contests, the DAV Patriots Pitch, which aims to empower founders, including spouses, in launching and growing their businesses [3].
The DAV Patriots Pitch is a significant part of the DAV Patriot Boot Camp, an entrepreneurial programme designed exclusively for veterans and military community members. This transformative programme offers no-cost entrepreneurship education, mentorship, resources, and community support, helping veterans harness their unique leadership and adaptability skills for entrepreneurial success [2].
Held three times annually, the DAV Patriots Pitch contest provides veteran entrepreneurs with an opportunity to refine their pitch and compete for non-dilutive capital to grow their business [4]. The contests, inspired by the TV show "Shark Tank", bring together a panel of accomplished veteran investors, industry experts, and successful entrepreneurs to evaluate the pitches and determine the winner of the $10,000 prize [3].
Cole Staudt, T-Mobile External Affairs Manager, expressed pride in supporting DAV's program, stating that it helps veterans build new skills and grow their professional experience [6]. This is the second year that T-Mobile has partnered with DAV, demonstrating a commitment to the organisation's mission and the success of veteran entrepreneurs.
DAV's support extends beyond the entrepreneurship contests. The organisation offers a variety of nationwide programs, including benefits assistance, transportation, employment assistance, and more, all at no cost to veterans and their families [7].

The DAV National Convention, where the contests will be held, promises to be a prominent stage for these inspiring veteran entrepreneurs. With T-Mobile's continued support, the DAV Patriots Pitch will continue to shine a light on the talent, innovation, and resilience of the veteran community.
