A Celebration to Support our Veterans
11/8/2011 2:52:56 PM | Football
During the Syracuse football game against the University of South Florida on Veterans Day (Nov. 11, 2011), Institute for Veterans and Military Families (IVMF) leadership, Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities (EBV) program graduates, EBV Foundation president and founder Ted Lachowicz (a Syracuse graduate and three-year Orange football letterwinner) and corporate representatives will participate in a check presentation of $11 million (in previously announced funds) on the field between the first and second quarters on behalf of corporate sponsors JPMorgan Chase & Co., Humana, Walmart and PepsiCo. The football game kicks off at 8:00 p.m. at the Carrier Dome.
Launched in June 2011, by founding members Syracuse University and JPMorgan Chase & Co., the IVMF is built on the University's longstanding commitment to the nation's veterans and service members. It is the first national center in higher education focused on the social, economic, education and policy issues impacting veterans and military families post-service. Through the pillars of educational programming, employment and actionable research, the institute provides in-depth analysis of the challenges facing veterans, captures best practices and serves as a forum to facilitate new partnerships and strong relationships between the individuals and organizations committed to making a difference in the lives of the veterans and family members who are part of this community.
The EBV is a one-of-a-kind initiative that leverages the skills, resources and infrastructure of higher education to offer cutting-edge, experiential training in entrepreneurship and small business management to post-9/11 veterans with service-related disabilities (estimated at up to 30% of the 2.5 million post-9/11 veteran population). The EBV opens the door to economic opportunity for veterans by developing their competencies in the many steps and activities associated with creating and sustaining an entrepreneurial venture. Founded at Syracuse in 2007, the program has since expanded to seven additional universities across the U.S., Texas A&M, Purdue University, UCLA, the University of Connecticut, Louisiana State University, and Florida State University with Syracuse University serving as the national host. Close to 500 veterans have graduated from EBV universities since 2007. Currently, the cohort of EBV graduates is responsible for the creation of more than 180 new, small businesses.
Tickets for the Syracuse football game are available online, at the Carrier Dome Box Office (Gate B) or by phone (888-DOMETIX).
