Nissan has teamed up with Habitat for Humanity and the Heisman Trophy Trust to help build affordable housing and support local high school kids in southern Los Angeles. For this new program, six former Heisman winners will come together with Nissan and Habitat for Humanity for a two-day event this weekend. The six Heisman winners include John Huarte (1964), Tony Dorsett (1976), George Rogers (1980), Doug Flutie (1984), Matt Leinart (2004) and Troy Smith (2006).
The weekend will start out with the Heisman winners leading 250 Carson High School students in a football clinic on Friday night and then on Saturday, the group will help to build a new home for Juan and Gloria loza and their three sons. Overall, the three organizations will continue to work together in order to create awareness for the need for affordable housing all across the country.
“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.”
