28 February 2020 - 11:00AM
LGI Homes, Inc. (Nasdaq:LGIH), one of the nation’s fastest growing
homebuilders, is giving back to our nation’s defenders, veterans,
first responders and families in need as part of the company’s
growing philanthropic initiative, LGI Giving.
“One of our goals for 2019 was to engage with an organization
that embodies our business and our company’s core values," said
Eric Lipar, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of
LGI Homes. "The Gary Sinise Foundation’s acts of selfless service
extend across the country, and their contributions to the
betterment of society and their ongoing commitment to serving
America’s heroes span the spectrum of causes.”
In early 2019, LGI Homes gave the Gary Sinise Foundation a
one-time donation of $200,000 and announced its pledge to continue
support throughout the year by donating $50 for every home closed
in 2019. On January 28, 2020, LGI Homes fulfilled that promise with
the presentation of a check for $385,000 to the Gary Sinise
Foundation in support of their mission. With contributions totaling
$585,000, LGI Homes’ donations will impact many Americans that have
defended our country through programs dedicated to entertain,
educate, inspire, strengthen, and build communities.
"Many thanks to everyone at LGI Homes for their support of the
Gary Sinise Foundation and our nation’s heroes," said Gary Sinise,
Founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation. "We are accomplishing
so many things, large and small that are making a difference in the
lives of our defenders and their families. It is only with
generosity from great companies like LGI Homes that we can continue
to provide programs for those who willingly sacrifice each day to
provide Americans freedom and security, and do a little more to
help see them through difficult times."

About LGI Giving
Started in 2016, the LGI Giving initiative was created for LGI
employees to have a larger impact on the communities in which they
serve through volunteerism and financial contributions –
strengthening local relationships and demonstrating loyalty. Since
then this initiative has grown to support an abundance of
organizations each year. Through this initiative the Company has
contributed over $1,500,000 in corporate non-profit sponsorships
and donated over 20,000 employee service hours. Through LGI
Giving’s Service Impact Day, in which all LGI offices across the
nation turn their focus away from sales and closings to participate
in this special day created to increase volunteerism throughout our
company, Company operations are put on hold for every employee to
donate their time and energy into supporting a local non-profit.
