The U.S. LBM Foundation, the charitable nonprofit organization of US LBM, one of the nation’s leading distributors of specialty building materials, raised more than $2.75 million at the eighth edition of its charity golf tournament, which was held at the Omni PGA Frisco outside of Dallas on Oct. 22.
The funds raised by the tournament will support several organizations, including the Gary Sinise Foundation’s R.I.S.E. (Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment) program, which builds specially adapted smart homes for severely wounded veterans. In attendance at this year’s event were three recipients of R.I.S.E homes, retired U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Nick Kimmel, retired U.S. Army Captain Jake Murphy and retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 2 Patrick Scrogin, whose R.I.S.E. home outside of Chicago was built earlier this year, in part with support from US LBM and the US LBM Foundation.
Additional recipients of funds raised by the golf tournament include the United Heroes League, which provides children of military service members access to youth sports, the David Foster Foundation, which promotes and supports organ donation for children in need, and Team Rubicon, which provides immediate and long-term disaster response aid to cleanup and rebuild storm impacted communities.
Since it was established in 2013, the U.S. LBM Foundation has donated more than $5.5 million to support charitable organizations across the country.
“At U.S. LBM, we’re proud to help build communities every day, and we’re equally proud of the community of giving we’ve been able to build with the supporters of the US LBM Foundation and our golf tournament fundraiser,” said US LBM President and CEO L.T. Gibson. “We are incredibly grateful for the generosity of our partners, which lets us continue to make a positive impact on the lives of so many, including our veteran heroes, children-in-need and people impacted natural disasters.”
