at their Gary Sinese Foundation home
dedication in Tucson, Ariz.

Sunbelt Rentals
Sunbelt Rentals is a major supporter
of the Gary Sinise Foundation's
R.I.S.E. (Restoring Independence,
Supporting Empowerment) program, which provides 100-percent,
mortgage-free, specially adapted,

custom smart-homes for America's
severely wounded heroes.
Company activities included
sponsoring a series of fundraising campaigns and community
outreach efforts. At the 2019 Barrett
Jackson auction this January in
Phoenix, Ariz., for example, 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 the company's 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 Foun-

dation. "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."
Since January 2016, Sunbelt
Rentals has also supported the
Gary Sinise Foundation and R.I.S.E.
by providing tools and equipment
needed for each of the program's
home build projects-at no cost
to contractors working on them.
In addition, Sunbelt Rentals backs
the program by donating a portion
of rental proceeds from uniquely
branded Gary Sinise Foundation
equipment to R.I.S.E.
