CANTON, Ohio, July 31, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, James Hardie Building Products Inc. (James Hardie), a leading provider of exterior home and outdoor living solutions, teamed up with legends from the Pro Football Hall of Fame to present the keys to an affordable new home for Shardae and her four children in Canton, Ohio.

The Habitat for Humanity^® of East Central Ohio home was funded by James Hardie as part of the charitable impact from the inaugural James Hardie™ Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational, a PGA TOUR Champions event featuring the legends of football and golf that took place in Boca Raton, Florida, this past April. Habitat for Humanity^® International is one of three cornerstone charity partners of the tournament, an organization James Hardie has long supported in service of their purpose, Building a Better Future for All™.

Shardae's new home is designed to stand the test of time with beautiful and durable Hardie^® fiber cement siding in "Evening Blue," the company's 2025 Color of the Year.

"Seeing more than 100 of the legends of football and golf together on the same golf course during the tournament was truly incredible, but it pales in comparison to the moment when we handed Shardae the keys to her forever home," said Noor Boyle, Sr. Director, Communications and Global Brand Management, James Hardie. "And we're proud to say Shardae's new home is one of five Habitat for Humanity^® projects that have been funded as part of the tournament's charity initiatives in Canton, Palm Beach County, Florida, and Chicago over the past year and a half."

Boyle and Pro Football Hall of Fame President and CEO Jim Porter helped present the keys alongside dozens of Pro Football Hall of Fame alumni and their wives, including Dan Fouts, Steve Atwater, Randall McDaniel, Bryant Young and Mike Haynes.

"We've called Canton home for more than six decades, so we're proud to help Shardae and her family realize their dreams of home ownership," said Porter. "We're humbled so many of our alumni joined us at the tournament and to welcome Shardae and her family home, but we remain eager to continue to support our community and others with the help of James Hardie in the years ahead."

The 2026 James Hardie™ Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational will be held March 2-8 at The Old Course at Broken Sound in Boca Raton. The event will feature 78 PGA TOUR Champions professionals and 26 NFL legends. The three-day tournament will be televised on the Golf Channel.
