Jim Johnson, president of The National Electrical Manufacturers Representatives Association (NEMRA), Carmel, IN, made a visit to the Gary Sinise Foundation, presenting them with a $20,000 donation to support the organization’s RISE program. Through RISE (Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment), the foundation is building specially adapted smart homes for our most severely wounded veterans and first responders. Through specific customizations tailored to the wounded veteran or first responder, these 100% mortgage-free homes ease the daily challenges faced by these heroes and their families who sacrifice alongside them. Through the R.I.S.E. program, the Gary Sinise Foundation also provides home modifications, mobility devices, and adapted vehicles to our wounded heroes.
“I want to express our sincere gratitude on behalf of Gary Sinise and all of us at the Gary Sinise Foundation for the generous donation we received,” said Gib Bosworth, VP of strategic initiatives & outreach, Gary Sinise Foundation, in the release. “We look forward to expanding this great partnership so we can help pay it forward and serve more veterans, first responders, and their families.”
