WHY: In November of 2018, the communities of North Los Angeles and Ventura Counties were devastated by the tragic shooting at Borderline Bar and Grill and the Hill and Woolsey fires. First responders rushed to the scene of the shooting in Thousand Oaks, and within hours were responding to the fast-moving wild fires, evacuating thousands who were in harm’s way. 12 families suffered a tragic loss at Borderline, and families in the area lost loved ones and property as the fires moved quickly west toward the Pacific Ocean.
Our first responders are individuals who have chosen jobs of service. They repeatedly put their lives in danger to ensure the people’s safety and security. And many times, their responsibilities require long hours away from their loved ones. The mission of the Gary Sinise Foundation is to serve and honor the needs of our defenders and their families, working each day to show our appreciation for their service to our communities and our country.
