Nissan generously donated four Nissan Titan trucks and one Armada to the Nashville Zoo this week. The donated Armada will be used for the zoo's “Wildlife on Wheels” program. Serving more than 18,000 students every year, this outreach program brings animals and educational programming to schools, day cares, hospitals and other organizations that may not have the ability to visit the Zoo.
Nissan Americas, which is located in Tennessee, has always been eager to lend a helping hand to the local community. The automaker's latest effort is helping the Nashville Zoo's ongoing operations and education programs.
"We rely heavily on trucks to move equipment, supplies and materials not only throughout our 188-acre property but also to and from destinations around Middle Tennessee," says Zoo President Rick Schwartz. "These vehicles will significantly help to keep the Zoo running smoothly, and all of us here are very appreciative of Nissan's support."
This isn't the first time Nissan has helped out the Nashville Zoo. Since 2004, the automaker has donated 10 vehicles to the zoo.
“The Nashville Zoo offers Middle Tennessee's children and families a place to have fun while learning about our environment and the creatures that live in it,” said Bill Krueger, vice chairman, Nissan Americas. “Through the donation of the Titan trucks and Armada, we are pleased to help support the zoo in its valuable mission and make a positive contribution to the local community.”
