Nissan & Heisman Build Home With Habitat for Humanity

Nissan has once again partnered with the Heisman Trophy Trust to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity in building a home for a deserving family in need. This is now the fourth consecutive year that the three organizations have teamed up for this cause and this year the recipients of the new home will be Nashville residents, Mohammed Berema and his wife, Khadija Aldom.

Nissan and the Heisman Trust kicked off the first day of construction with this year’s Heisman participants: Tim Brown (Notre Dame), Mark Ingram (Alabama), George Rogers (South Carolina), Billy Sims (Oklahoma) and Marcus Mariota (Oregon). The day before construction officially began, the five Heisman winners held a special youth football clinic at the new Nissan Stadium. The clinic included participation from 200 student members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Middle Tennessee.

“Nissan has been active for many years with Habitat for Humanity in communities where we live and work, and our strong partnership with the Heisman Trust and its mission of building strong communities and service to America’s youth continues to be an excellent fit,” said Jeremy Tucker, vice president, Marketing Communication & Media, Nissan. “We’re grateful to these athletes for joining in this unique partnership to conduct a football clinic for area kids, and to help Berema and Aldom and their family improve their living conditions through home ownership.”
