LP Building Solutions Expands Partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation
In an inspiring act of generosity, LP Building Solutions has announced the expansion of its partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation. Known for its high-quality building products, LP is now committing to donate 100% of the LP® SmartSide® Trim & Siding. This donation will aid in constructing specially adapted, mortgage-free homes for wounded veterans.
The Gary Sinise Foundation's Role in Supporting Veterans
Founded by actor and humanitarian Gary Sinise in 2011, the Gary Sinise Foundation is dedicated to serving America’s defenders, veterans, and first responders. Through its R.I.S.E. program (Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment), the foundation builds mortgage-free smart homes designed specifically for severely wounded heroes who have made great sacrifices for their country. With this recent extension of support from LP, the initiative will continue to meet the unique needs of these veterans, ensuring they have homes that are both functional and durable.
LP's Ongoing Commitment to Veterans
“We’re honored to be part of something so significant,” said Jason Ringblom, LP's Executive Vice President and General Manager of Siding. He highlighted the importance of giving back to those who have served our nation. This partnership has been in place since 2022, during which LP has provided financial support and donated LP SmartSide products for various veteran homes. The renewed commitment to donating essential LP SmartSide products underscores LP’s strong dedication to positively impacting the community.
Quality of LP SmartSide Trim and Siding
With nearly thirty years of experience, LP SmartSide Trim and Siding has become a trusted option for home siding, balancing the classic appeal of wood with the remarkable durability of engineered wood. This donation not only supports the construction of homes but also helps create brighter futures for those who have sacrificed so much. “We are proud to have LP Building Solutions as a national partner of the Gary Sinise Foundation,” stated Donna Mercier, the foundation's Executive Director, recognizing their shared mission of aiding veterans and first responders.
