Coverings was honored to have Gary Sinise, actor, humanitarian, and founder of the Gary Sinise Foundation, participate in a keynote session at Coverings 2026.
In recognition of his inspiring work, Coverings is proud to have donated $20,000 through our Coverings Cares initiative to benefit the Gary Sinise Foundation, which supports our nation’s veterans, first responders, heroes and defenders.
We invite you to join us in supporting this worthy cause by continuing to donate directly to the Gary Sinise Foundation.
Gary Sinise’s stage, film and television career has spanned more than four decades. He is widely known for his Oscar-nominated performance as Lt. Dan Taylor in “Forrest Gump” as well as acclaimed roles in “Apollo 13,” “The Green Mile” and “CSI: NY.”
For more than 40 years, Sinise has stood as an advocate on behalf of America’s service members. He founded the Gary Sinise Foundation in 2011 through which initiatives like R.I.S.E. (Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment) build and adapt mortgage-free homes for America’s heroes. The foundation partners with architects, builders and other skilled craftspeople—including tile and stone professionals—to provide the homes to those in service who have been severely wounded during their acts of bravery and heroism. The foundation also aids first responders through facility, equipment and resilience programs, reflecting its strong connection to the broader design and construction community.
