ATD, Sinise Foundation Present Grants

American Tire Distributors Inc. (ATD) and the Gary Sinise Foundation (GSF) together have presented grants totaling nearly $150,000 to four first responder departments.

Located in North Carolina, the departments will use the money for life-saving equipment "to help them perform their jobs to the best of their ability as part of GSF’s First Responders Outreach program," say ATD officials. "These grants were made possible through generous donations received from ATD’s vendor partners throughout 2024."

"We are honored to support the brave men and women who dedicate their lives to protecting others,” says Laurie Heavner, chief people officer at ATD. “Partnering with the Gary Sinise Foundation allows us to give back in a meaningful way and show our appreciation for our everyday heroes.”
