In honor of Veterans Day and National Veterans and Military Families Month, DraftKings Inc. (Nasdaq:DKNG) today announced that it is proudly collaborating with the Pat Tillman Foundation, which carries on Pat Tillman's legacy by giving military service members, veterans and spouses the educational tools and community support to reach their fullest potential as leaders.
"We are honored to work with the Pat Tillman Foundation as we share a mutual commitment to empowering and supporting veterans and their families," said Jason Robins, DraftKings' co-founder, CEO and Chairman of the Board. "The entire DraftKings team is proud of the work we do to support our military, veterans and families through our Tech for Heroes program, and we're excited to expand our DK S.E.R.V.E.S. efforts in collaboration with the Pat Tillman Foundation."

DraftKings will also be offering custom military-inspired camouflage hats in its online shop, with 100% of profits from hats sold going to The Pat Tillman Foundation.
