Our partnership with the Nashville Sounds represents more than just a business relationship—it’s a commitment to our Middle Tennessee community and the heroes who serve it. This year’s event on July 3rd marked a significant milestone in our ongoing mission to support veterans through our annual roof giveaway program. When I stepped onto that pitcher’s mound alongside two representatives from the Gary Sinise Foundation, I felt the weight of our shared responsibility to honor those who have sacrificed for our country.
The evening at the ballpark brought together everything we stand for at Tim Leeper Roofing. As your trusted roofing partner in Middle Tennessee, we believe in giving back to the community that has supported us throughout our journey. The opportunity to throw the first pitch wasn’t just a ceremonial gesture—it symbolized our dedication to stepping up to the plate for veterans who need our help. With our three locations in Old Hickory, Clarksville, and Franklin, we’ve built our reputation on quality work backed by our 20-year roof warranty, and this annual giveaway allows us to extend that same level of excellence to deserving veterans at no cost.
Honoring Captain Leslie Smith
This year’s roof giveaway recipient, Captain Leslie Smith, exemplifies the strength and dedication we see in our nation’s veterans. Her service record speaks to a lifetime of commitment, and we’re honored to provide her with a new roof scheduled for completion in late August or early September. As an Owens Corning Platinum Preferred Contractor, we’re bringing our highest standards of craftsmanship to this project, ensuring Captain Smith receives the same quality installation we provide to all our residential and commercial customers across Clarksville, Antioch, Arrington, Brentwood, Forest Hills, and Franklin.
The selection process for our annual roof giveaway involves careful consideration of veterans’ needs and circumstances. We understand that many veterans face unique challenges after their service, and home maintenance can become an overwhelming burden. By providing a complete roof replacement, we’re not just fixing shingles—we’re providing peace of mind and security. Our team approaches each veteran’s home with the same attention to detail and commitment to excellence that has made us Middle Tennessee’s #1 Choice and earned us recognition as Roofing Contractor of the Year.
Partnership with the Gary Sinise Foundation
Our collaboration with the Gary Sinise Foundation has elevated our veteran support efforts to new heights. This partnership brings together two organizations deeply committed to serving those who have served our nation. The Foundation’s extensive work supporting veterans, first responders, and their families aligns perfectly with our mission to give back to the community. Having their representatives join us on the field for the first pitch ceremony underscored the importance of collective action in supporting our heroes.
The Gary Sinise Foundation’s involvement adds significant resources and expertise to our roof giveaway program. Their network and understanding of veteran needs help us identify recipients who will benefit most from this assistance. Together, we’re creating a more comprehensive support system that addresses the real challenges veterans face in maintaining their homes. This partnership demonstrates how businesses and nonprofit organizations can work together to create meaningful impact in veterans’ lives.
Community Impact Beyond the Baseball Diamond
The Nashville Sounds game serves as a public platform to highlight our commitment to veterans, but our work extends far beyond that single evening. Throughout the year, we maintain our dedication to exceptional service for all customers while keeping our promise to never engage in door-knocking tactics. Our emergency and after-hours call service ensures that whether you’re dealing with storm damage or urgent roof repair needs, we’re available when you need us most.

Our presence at community events like the Sounds game reinforces our commitment to being more than just a roofing contractor. We’re neighbors, partners, and supporters of the communities we serve across Middle Tennessee. From routine roof maintenance to complete roof replacement projects, we approach every job with the understanding that we’re not just working on houses—we’re protecting homes and the families who live in them.
Looking Forward to Future Giveaways
The success of this year’s event and the upcoming installation for Captain Smith motivates us to continue and expand our veteran support initiatives. Each year brings new opportunities to serve those who have served us, and we’re already planning for next year’s giveaway. The emotional impact of these projects goes beyond the physical work—seeing the relief and gratitude on veterans’ faces when they realize they’ll have a secure, quality roof over their heads reminds us why we started this program.
Our commitment to veterans reflects our broader philosophy of business. Just as we offer a 20-year warranty because we’re confident in our work quality, we pledge ongoing support to our veteran community because we believe in long-term relationships and lasting impact. Whether we’re handling residential roofing, commercial projects, or storm damage repairs, we bring the same dedication and craftsmanship that will protect Captain Smith’s home for decades to come.
The partnership between Tim Leeper Roofing, the Nashville Sounds, and the Gary Sinise Foundation creates a powerful alliance supporting Middle Tennessee veterans. As we prepare for Captain Smith’s roof installation and look ahead to future giveaways, we remain committed to excellence in every aspect of our work. From emergency repairs to complete replacements, from residential homes to commercial buildings, we continue serving our community with integrity, quality, and compassion. The first pitch at the Sounds game was just the beginning—our real work happens every day on rooftops across Middle Tennessee, protecting families and honoring those who have protected us.
