The Veteran Business Collective leverages the business community to foster purpose, belonging, and economic success for veterans and their families. Our vision is to create an engaged and empowered community of veterans, military spouses, and non-military supporters through membership networking, sponsorship, and involvement opportunities. We have launched a month-long competition to engage the community and build comradery between chapters. This 5k will benefit the Collective by raising awareness of who we are and what we do best: Build, Engage, and Empower Veteran Businesses! The proceeds from the run will stay within each chapter and go towards grants to uplift Veteran Businesses in the local areas. The winner takes bragging rights for being the most United Veteran Businesses Chapter! Sign up today and ensure your Collective gets bragging rights! Then, keep tracking the teams to see who has the most spirit. Will it be Wilmington, Jacksonville, Pensacola, or the Tri-Cities?
