Ohio, Aug. 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, James
Hardie Building Products Inc. (James Hardie), a North American
leader in home-building products, teamed up with members of the Pro

communities," said Aaron Erter,
Chief Executive Officer, James Hardie. "We've supported Habitat for
Humanity for years in service of our purpose, Building a Better
Future for All™, and we're honored to help them
fulfill their vision to ensure everyone, including the Shoup
family, have a decent place to live."
Erter and Pro Football Hall of Fame president Jim Porter helped raise the walls along with Pro
Football Hall of Fame members who have committed to play in the
James Hardie™ Pro Football Hall of Fame Invitational next year.
"The Pro Football Hall of Fame has been proud to call
Canton home for more than 60
years," said Jim Porter, President
of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. "We're humbled so many of our
members joined us to start construction of the Shoup family's new
home while enhancing our community. We're also excited about the
possibilities to create even more impact in Canton, and beyond, as part of our new
partnership with James Hardie."
