The Gary Sinise Foundation
PHILANTHROPIC EFFORT
NEMRA is devoted to its philanthropic efforts, so we partnered with the Gary Sinise Foundation to “do a little more” for our nation’s military heroes and their families throughout the coming years.
Established under the philanthropic direction of actor Gary Sinise, an advocate of our nation’s defenders for nearly 40 years, the Gary Sinise Foundation’s mission is to serve our nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need. The foundation accomplishes its work through a number of national and local programs designed to entertain, educate, inspire, strengthen, and build communities. Gary Sinise reminds us, “While we can never do enough to show gratitude to our nation’s defenders, we can always do a little more.”
Together, NEMRA and the Gary Sinise Foundation will “do a little more” for our nation’s defenders in 2022 and beyond.
Restoring Independence, Supporting Empowerment
NEMRA is a proud partner of the Gary Sinise Foundation’s R.I.S.E. (Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment) Initiative. Through R.I.S.E., the GSF is building specially adapted smart homes for our most severely wounded heroes, as well as providing home modifications, mobility devices, and adapted vehicles to our injured, wounded, ill, and/or aging heroes.
Specially Adapted Smart Homes
GSF is constructing one-of-a-kind homes for our nation’s most severely wounded heroes. The initiative predominantly supports post-9/11 defenders injured in combat operations or during training while performing their duties. These 100% mortgage-free homes ease the daily challenges faced by these heroes and their families who sacrifice alongside them.
Home Modifications, Mobility Devices & Adapted Vehicles
Many wounded heroes lack the means to update their homes and customize their transportation to suit their individual needs. GSF is providing our injured, wounded, ill and/or aging heroes with the resources they need to regain their mobility and independence.
Since NEMRA has begun its philanthropic efforts to support the Gary Sinise Foundation, NEMRA has a total of $46k+ funds contributed!
