Natural Stone Institute Donates to Gary Sinise Foundation’s R.I.S.E. Program
Oberlin, OH —The Natural Stone Institute was proud to make a donation to the Gary Sinise Foundation in support of its R.I.S.E. (Restoring Independence Supporting Empowerment) program. The R.I.S.E. program builds 100% mortgage-free specially adapted smart homes for severely wounded veterans and first responders. This donation was made possible by Salado.
Funds were raised via an online survey for the design community: each response received increased the donation amount, for a total of $1,000. The goal of the survey was to gain a better understanding of how design professionals prefer to access information about natural stone. Tying the survey to a charitable cause garnered extra excitement for involvement and provided participants with an opportunity to give back.
