Watch the introduction video for Jake here. In other news, Team Rubicon earned over a million dollars in their partnership with TMobile at Major League Baseball's Homerun Derby on Monday night.
❝ Washington Nationals slugger Bryce Harper may have gotten the glory at this week's MLB Home Run Derby, but veteran-centric volunteer organization Team Rubicon was the big winner. This year's sponsor, T-Mobile, donated over $1 million - that's $5k per home run - to Team Rubicon, the veteran-led disaster response organization.
This isn’t the first time T-Mobile has helped Team Rubicon (TR). DJ Sprenger, Team Rubicon’s Sr. Associate, Public Affairs said the cell phone carrier donated $3.4 million for Hurricane Harvey relief in 2017. “That money helped us deploy 1,760 volunteers and helped us do things like rescue 72 people with boats,” said Sprenger. “Overall, the retail value of assistance provided after Hurricane Harvey was $6.72 million.” [ConnectingVets.com]
