US LBM Foundation Golf Tournament Raises More Than $3 Million

The US LBM Foundation, the charitable nonprofit organization of US LBM, raised more than $3 million at its ninth annual charity golf tournament, held at the Omni PGA Frisco outside of Dallas on October 7.

This year's event marked a special milestone with the introduction of the inaugural L.T. and Lina Gibson Partnership Award, established to honor long-term partners who have made an enduring impact through their commitment to the Foundation's mission. The first recipient of the award was Marissa Penrod, founder of Team Joseph, a nonprofit dedicated to funding research and providing support for families affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy. Team Joseph was the first organization to partner with the US LBM Foundation, and Marissa attended the very first golf tournament in 2016.

"Team Joseph holds a special place in our history," said L.T. Gibson, President and CEO of US LBM. "Marissa's determination to not only fight for her own son and family, but for all those impacted by Duchenne, have inspired all of us. From the first tournament nearly a decade ago to today, her commitment reminds us why we do this, to make a real difference in people's lives. We're honored to recognize her and have her be part of our mission of building stronger communities."

Funds raised at the tournament will support several organizations and the communities in which we proudly operate, including the Gary Sinise Foundation's R.I.S.E. program, which builds specially adapted smart homes for severely wounded veterans, the United Heroes League, and Team Rubicon, which provides immediate and long-term disaster response aid to rebuild storm-impacted communities.

This year's event featured several special guests, including Oz Pearlman ("Oz the Mentalist"), musical artists Kelley James and Coffey Anderson, and professional golfers Bernhard Langer, Erik Barnes, Paul Azinger, and Jessica Korda. We were also honored to welcome U.S. military veterans, including two R.I.S.E. home recipients, retired U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant Nick Kimmel and retired U.S. Army Captain Jake Murphy.

Since its establishment in 2013, the US LBM Foundation has donated more than $9 million to charitable organizations across the country. We are proud to celebrate another year of bringing together our community and partners for a day of friendly competition with a focus on giving back.
