Heisman and Habitat for Humanity and Nissan Join Forces

Nissan Motor Company has extended its partnership with the Heisman Trophy Trust and Habitat for Humanity in order to help promote awareness about the need for affordable housing across the country. For this weekend, six former Heisman Trophy winners will come together for a special event in Los Angeles that combines both football and building houses.

“Working with Habitat, Nissan employees have logged more than 70,000 volunteer hours to improve communities across the country over the past 10 years,” said Nissan Marketing Vice President Jeremy Tucker. “Now, with the personal commitment of time and effort from the Heisman winners, we’re creating a one-of-a-kind partnership that can bring even greater attention to local needs for decent, affordable housing. We’re grateful for their participation.”

The six Heisman winners participating this weekend include John Huarte (1964), Tony Dorsett (1976), George Rogers (1980), Doug Flutie (1984), Matt Leinart (2004) and Troy Smith (2006). For the start of the weekend, they will be running a football clinic with about 250 students from Carson High School which will take place Friday night. Then, on Saturday, they will all join in the Habitat for Humanity effort to help build a new house for Juan and Gloria loza and their three sons.
