Support the Mission

The Gary Sinise Foundation serves our nation by honoring our defenders, veterans, first responders, their families, and those in need.

The Gary Sinise Foundation does this by creating and supporting unique programs designed to entertain, educate, inspire, strengthen, and build communities.

"Freedom and security are precious gifts that we, as Americans, should never take for granted. We must do all we can to extend our hand in times of need to those who willingly sacrifice each day to provide that freedom and security. While we can never do enough to show gratitude to our nation's defenders, we can always do a little more." - Gary Sinise
