UNIONTOWN, Ohio – Global commercial electronic security company Securitas Technology, SSI’s 2025 Installer of the Year, selected the Gary Sinise Foundation as its charity of choice during the Global Security Exchange Conference (GSX 2025) in September 2025.
Recently, Securitas Technology team members were on hand to present a $10,000 check to the leadership of the Gary Sinise Foundation at their headquarters in Franklin, Tenn.
The Foundation, established in 2011 by actor and humanitarian Gary Sinise, serves and honors veterans, first responders and their families. The five-figure donation from Securitas Technology was “driven by the number of visitors who engaged with the company’s booth during the event,” according to the company announcement.
The initiative “reflects the company’s broader commitment to social responsibility and its purpose to help make the world a safer place,” the announcement says.
Why Did Securitas Technology Donate to the Gary Sinise Foundation?
“Our purpose is to help make your world a safer place — and that includes supporting those who dedicate their lives to protecting others,” says Tony Byerly, global president and CEO of Securitas Technology, in the company announcement. “We’re honored to contribute to the Gary Sinise Foundation and the incredible work they do for our nation’s heroes.”
The response from GSX 2025 attendees “was a key driver of the donation,” the announcement says.
“Our conversations with attendees at GSX 2025 were inspiring,” says Byerly in the company announcement. “It was a powerful reminder of how our industry can come together to make a meaningful impact beyond business — and we’re proud to turn that engagement into action.”
This effort “underscores Securitas Technology’s values of integrity, vigilance and helpfulness and highlights the company’s belief that safety is not only about technology; it’s about people, purpose and community,” the announcement says.
