Special Game Day Activities Planned For Each Home Game At Nissan Stadium
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans and Nissan are proud to support Wounded Warrior Project ® (WWP) during all home games at Nissan Stadium during the upcoming 2015 season.
During tonight's matchup with the St. Louis Rams, the Titans Foundation will make a $25,000 donation to honor those men and women who have valiantly served America. At each home contest during the regular season, a WWP recipient will be honored on the field for bravely serving our country, and a donation will be made in their name.
"It's Nissan's way of honoring the service of those who sacrifice so much for all of us, including their devoted family members," said Fred Diaz, Senior Vice President, Nissan Sales & Marketing and Operations U.S., Nissan North America, Inc.
"The Titans are proud to support our nation's military veterans, and we are honored to host and recognize a deserving soldier at each Titans home game at Nissan Stadium in 2015," said Tennessee Titans Foundation President Kenneth Adams, IV. "It's a small way to honor the bravery and service of those soldiers who sacrifice so much for our country, and it is a privilege for us to have an association with Wounded Warrior Project."
In June 2015, Nissan announced that it is the official automotive partner of Wounded Warrior Project, building on an existing platform of support between the company and the well-known veterans' support organization.
Nissan's support of WWP includes a recent "Project Titan" adventure, in which two injured veterans piloted a custom-built Nissan Titan pickup on a 10-day adventure through the Alaskan wilderness. On Veterans' Day 2014, a short film aired on the History2 Channel, Hulu, XBOX Live and YouTube following their adventures.
The Titans and Nissan North America recently announced the formation of a 20-year, exclusive naming-rights partnership that rebrands Nashville's downtown stadium as Nissan Stadium*. One component of the partnership will be assisting charitable organizations throughout Middle Tennessee in an array of community outreach programs, and a centerpiece of this is the annual "Taste of Titans" charitable event, for which Nissan will serve as presenting sponsor and this year benefits WWP. During the course of a 20-year relationship, a total of more than $1 million resulting from these annual events is anticipated to be distributed to local non-profit organizations.
