ALISO VIEJO, Calif., Oct. 1, 2015
/PRNewswire/ -- The Carrington Companies (Carrington) and the
Carrington Charitable Foundation (CCF) are pleased to announce the fifth
home in our 2015 series of builds has been delivered to USMC SSgt Jason
Ross and his family in the San Diego
area. Carrington and CCF in collaboration with the Gary Sinise
Foundation have delivered ten homes since the inception of the
partnership in 2014 to catastrophically wounded Heroes of the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts and their families across the United States.
Carrington's
donation of project management and real estate development services,
and donations from the Carrington Charitable Foundation, contributed to
the completion of five custom homes in 2014, and five to date for 2015.
Each home is designed to ease daily living challenges with features like
home automation, modified home access points inside and out, specially
designed kitchens and bathrooms and more, in an effort to make daily
life just a bit easier for the Veterans and their families or
caregivers.
The 5th Annual Carrington Charitable Foundation Golf Classic on October 12th (Columbus Day) at the Resort at Pelican Hill in Newport Coast, California is expected to raise nearly $2 million to support CCF's own Carrington House
program, the Veterans Airlift Command, and CCF's collaboration with the
Gary Sinise Foundation. The event will serve as one of CCF's largest
public fundraising programs supporting our work in 2016. Through the
generosity from supporters since its inception five years ago, CCF's
Annual Golf Classic has raised over $6 million. To date this year's event has already raised over $900,000 through sponsorships and donations, with many donor and sponsor opportunities still available.
To celebrate our fifth year in style, CCF is hosting Gary Sinise's Lt. Dan Band in concert at the National Grove in Anaheim, California.
The twelve-member band, including Gary, covers hits from every genre in
support of our nation's defenders and first responders and their
families who have sacrificed so much fighting to protect our Freedom.
"We are really looking forward to our 5th annual event, the best yet to benefit our wounded Veterans and their families," said Rosemary Rose,
Carrington Charitable Foundation's Chairman of the Board. "We owe a
tremendous debt of gratitude and support to America's Heroes. The effort
of CCF and support of our donors, partners, friends and families are
one way that we give back to our extraordinary Heroes and their
caregivers who truly deserve a place to call home," she added.

Our signature program, Carrington House,
provides housing assistance to honor the selfless sacrifices of our
nation's servicemen and women who have dedicated their lives to
protecting our country's freedom. Carrington House
seeks to assist our Veterans through programs which include the
collection of donated homes near key military hospital centers for
families to live in during the difficult post-injury recovery process,
as well as the rehabilitation and sale of homes donated by Bank of
America. Funds from the rehabilitated home sales are directed toward the
new homes for our Veterans constructed in collaboration with the Gary
Sinise Foundation (GSF).
The
fundraising efforts of Carrington Charitable Foundation and the
operational support from The Carrington Companies together with GSF's
R.I.S.E. program enables the construction of custom, automated homes
all across the United States
to meet the unique needs of each wounded veteran. These homes restore
the feeling of independence and freedom to live comfortably to each
wounded veteran and their family. All of the money raised under Carrington House
is allocated directly toward the construction of these homes. Five
homes were completed in 2014 and six homes are expected to be completed
in 2015.
With the support of the majority of Carrington's four thousand Associates, CCF has raised nearly $10 million
to date, and has supported over 50 charities since its inception. The
