SYRACUSE — The Entrepreneurship Bootcamp for Veterans with Disabilities received a $500,000 donation from PepsiCo, Inc. on Wednesday.
The contribution brought the total donation from PepsiCo to $1.5 million over the last three years. The donations are the result of Pepsi’s Dream Machine Recycling Initiative.
The more bottles and cans recycled in Dream Machine kiosks and bins across the nation and in schools, the more money the company gives the boot camp.
