Is Your Town Ready for the Selfie of a Lifetime? T-Mobile Unveils Hometown Techover Contest - Seite 3

For the kids and parents in the town, T-Mobile, a sponsor of both Major League Baseball and Little League, will turn a local Little League field into a Magenta field of dreams. The field will even feature wireless technology called T-Mobile FamCam 5G that makes livestreaming local Little League games possible so friends and family who can’t make a game can still see it live or on demand via their smartphone, tablet or laptop. In addition to the field refurbishment, the town's Little League will receive support from the T-Mobile Little League Call Up Grant, which helps to cover Little League registration fees for families who may not have the means to do so.

Investing in communities

T-Mobile also recognizes the impact that community revitalization can have on residents. T-Mobile has partnered with Smart Growth America (SGA), an organization that specializes in community planning and development, to help with a key part of the Hometown Techover — bringing a community project to life and maximizing its benefits. Having helped scores of smaller towns achieve economic vibrancy, our friends at SGA will help the Hometown Techover winner develop an old plan that never got off the ground or help them create a new project that will enrich the town’s development (i.e., town square, historic neighborhood, community center, etc.). The winning town will receive a $200,000 grant to help make its project a reality.

“We are excited to partner with T-Mobile to help a small town reach its full potential,” said Smart Growth America CEO Calvin Gladney. “Community projects like these can be a catalyst for creating healthier, thriving communities with strong local businesses and jobs that create economic prosperity for all.”

Celebrating Un-carrier Style with Florida Georgia Line

T-Mobile is excited to serve small town America. What better way to celebrate than with a party for the whole town?! To mark the occasion T-Mobile is bringing in 18-time chart-topping, multi-platinum duo Florida Georgia Line to perform a concert for the Hometown Techover winning town. That’s right — the WHOLE TOWN!

“Touring all across the country for so many years, we’ve seen firsthand some of the tech challenges in small towns,” shared Florida Georgia Line’s Tyler Hubbard. “So, we’re excited to be a part of this Hometown Techover and have the chance to celebrate one lucky town’s newest upgrade!”

Florida Georgia Line’s Brian Kelley continues, “We’re dreamers ourselves and can’t wait to see how the winning town is able to realize their community’s dreams.”
