LGI Homes Announces Partnership with Gary Sinise Foundation
December 03 2019 - 7:00AM
LGI Homes, Inc. (Nasdaq:LGIH) continues support for the Gary Sinise
Foundation. The partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation is one
way that LGI Homes supports the community year-round through the
LGI Giving initiative. The mission of LGI Giving is to exemplify
LGI Homes’ core values by supporting the communities that the
Company serves through financial contributions and volunteerism.
“We identified a non-profit organization whose mission aligns
with our company’s core values,” said Eric Lipar, Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board of LGI Homes. “We are proud to
announce a partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation who honors
our nation’s defenders, veterans, first responders, their families
and those in need. Their ongoing commitment to serving America’s
heroes is deeply appreciated.”
In early 2019, LGI Homes made a one-time donation of $200,000 to
the Gary Sinise Foundation. In addition, LGI Homes pledges to
donate $50 for every home that the Company closes in 2019, or
approximately $350,000, to support the Gary Sinise Foundation.
These funds will be used to provide an array of unique programs
designed to entertain, educate, inspire, strengthen, and build
communities for those who willingly sacrifice each day to provide
Americans freedom and security.
“For every man and woman that has ever put on a uniform to
defend our country, we thank you,” said Eric Lipar. “While we can
never fully repay the gratitude owed to you all, our company is
proud to stand by the Gary Sinise Foundation in their efforts to
support the lives of our nation’s greatest heroes.”

About LGI Giving
Started in 2016, the LGI Giving initiative was created for LGI
employees to have a larger impact on the communities in which they
serve through volunteerism and financial contributions –
strengthening local relationships and demonstrating loyalty. Since
then this initiative has grown to support an abundance of
organizations each year. Through this initiative the Company has
contributed over $1,200,000 in corporate non-profit sponsorships
and donated over 20,000 employee service hours. Through LGI
Giving’s Service Impact Day, in which all LGI offices across the
nation turn their focus away from sales and closings to participate
in this special day created to increase volunteerism throughout our
company, Company operations are put on hold for every employee to
donate their time and energy into supporting a local non-profit.
