The Gary Sinise Foundation is a non-profit organization that is committed to honoring and supporting the men and women who serve in the United States military, veterans, first responders, and their families. The foundation offers a range of services and programs designed to address their unique needs and provide assistance in various areas.
One of the key services provided by the Gary Sinise Foundation is their R.I.S.E. program (Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment). This program focuses on constructing specially adapted smart homes for severely wounded veterans, enabling them to regain their independence and live with greater mobility and comfort. These homes are equipped with advanced technologies that help veterans with disabilities carry out daily activities more easily.
The foundation also offers the Relief & Resiliency Outreach program, which provides critical support to military and first responder families during times of hardship or crisis. This program offers financial assistance, counseling services, and support for those dealing with mental health challenges, ensuring that families receive the care and support they need during difficult times.
In addition, the Gary Sinise Foundation has a strong commitment to supporting the well-being and entertainment of military personnel and their families. Through their Invincible Spirit Festivals, the foundation organizes large-scale celebrations and concerts at military bases around the world. These events provide entertainment, boost morale, and show appreciation for the service and sacrifice of military members and their families.
The foundation’s Soaring Valor program is dedicated to preserving the stories and memories of World War II veterans. This program captures the oral histories of these veterans through interviews and recordings, ensuring that their experiences and sacrifices are preserved for future generations.
Furthermore, the Gary Sinise Foundation offers various outreach initiatives and partnerships that provide support for active-duty service members, veterans, and their families. This includes support for military hospitals and clinics, scholarships for children of fallen service members, and assistance in providing service dogs to veterans with disabilities.
