Sunbelt Rentals Expands Support of Gary Sinise Foundation
Sunbelt Rentals has donated $1 million to the Gary Sinise Foundation’s R.I.S.E. (Restoring Independence, Supporting Empowerment) program which provides 100% mortgage-free, specially adapted custom smart homes for America’s severely wounded heroes.
To garner support for the R.I.S.E program, Sunbelt Rentals began sponsoring a series of fundraising campaigns and community outreach efforts. The company was on hand at the 2019 Barrett Jackson auction this January in Phoenix, Ariz., where a custom jeep was auctioned off to raise $300,000 for the Foundation. Following the auction, the Sunbelt Rentals team presented Gary Sinise with a $1 million check — representing Sunbelt Rentals collective efforts to support R.I.S.E. over the last year.
“We are incredibly thankful to our friends at Sunbelt Rentals,” said Judith Otter, chief operating officer at the Gary Sinise Foundation. “Their ongoing support, passion, and commitment to our R.I.S.E. program has helped change the lives for many of our severely wounded heroes and their families, giving them back the independence they deserve.”
