The Gary Sinise Foundation, a nonprofit established in 2011 by
actor and humanitarian Gary Sinise that is dedicated to serving
America’s defenders, veterans, first responders and their families,
continues to make a profound impact through its R.I.S.E. program
(Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment). This initiative
constructs specially adapted, mortgage-free smart homes for our
nation’s most severely wounded heroes, who have sacrificed so much.
With LP’s expanded support, the program will continue to provide
these heroes with homes designed to meet their unique needs—homes
built to last.
“We’re humbled to be part of something so meaningful,” said LP
Executive Vice President and General Manager of Siding Jason
Ringblom. “These veterans have given so much for our country. It’s
only right that we help ensure they have a safe place to call
home.”
LP and the LP Foundation have supported the Gary Sinise
Foundation since 2022, providing financial contributions and LP
SmartSide products, including for the home of Retired U.S. Army
Chief Warrant Officer Patrick Scrogin earlier this year. The recent
expansion of this partnership underscores LP’s dedication to making
a tangible difference, now donating all necessary LP SmartSide
products for homes built through the Gary Sinise Foundation.
For nearly three decades, LP SmartSide Trim and Siding has set
the standard in home siding, combining the timeless beauty of
traditional wood with the durability of engineered wood. By
donating these materials, LP is not only helping to build homes; it
is also helping to build futures for those who have given so
much.
“We are honored to have LP Building Solutions as a national
partner of the Gary Sinise Foundation; a company that truly shares
our mission to serve our nation’s defenders, veterans, first
responders and their families who have sacrificed so much to defend
our freedoms and keep us safe,” said Gary Sinise Foundation
Executive Director Donna Mercier. “On behalf of our founder Gary
Sinise, whose support for our nation’s veterans and first
responders dates back more than 40 years, we are deeply grateful to
our Nashville neighbor, LP Building Solutions, for expanding its
support of the Gary Sinise Foundation to reach even more heroes in
need around the country.”
This program is part of LP’s broader commitment to philanthropy
and community support. Over the years, the LP Foundation has
contributed over $22 million to nonprofits and public schools, with
a focus on supporting the communities in which LP operates.
