Tynan's Nissan FC

On June 22nd, Nissan made the announcement that it would be the official automotive sponsor for the Wounded Warrior Project (WWP), adding to an already sound relationship between the two groups.

Throughout the U.S., Nissan dealers can help do their part by raising money for wounded veterans and bringing to light the issues that they often face when coming back home. The Nissan Dealer that raises the most money will be invited to the organizations’ yearly Courage Awards & Benefit Dinner® in New York City.

“Nissan and Nissan dealers are proud to be helping support our nation’s heroes by raising awareness and support through local promotions and events, as well as continuing our efforts at the national level,” said Fred Diaz, senior vice president, Sales, Marketing & Operations, U.S.A., Nissan North America, Inc. “It’s Nissan’s way of honoring the service to those who sacrifice so much for all of us, including their devoted family members.”

The recent “Project Titan” trip was another way Nissan showed its support of WWP. In the trip, two injured veterans navigated a custom Nissan Titan pickup for 10 days across the Alaskan Wilderness. Last Veteran’s Day a short film showed on select channels showing their journey.

Earlier this year in January, Nissan donated $1 million in a joint effort with their “With Dad” Super Bowl commercial, to help families ensure a better future.
