Remus Roman and his brother, Romulus Roman are avid supporters of Habitat for Humanity. Both Remus and Romulus spent a large amount of their rookie salaries donating to the charity, and a majority of the offseason working with the Charity hands-on building houses in the greater Gary, Indiana area. Remus and Romulus care about their community and decided to pay it back by helping the citizens of Gary. Over the course of the offseason they assisted in building just over 15 affordable housing units for the community.
When asked about why they support such an organization, Remus responded “I grew up in Gary and we were lucky enough to be recipients of affordable housing. Without it, my brother and I would not have had a roof over our heads, and in all likelihood would have never made it into the big leagues. Doing what we can to make sure that everyone here in Gary has the same opportunity as we had is a no brainer, so we are proud to support Habitat for Humanity.”
Recently it was made public that both Remus and Romulus plan to donate half of their contracted salaries (Remus from New Orleans, Romulus from Philadelphia) to the charity, continuing their commitment to better housing in Gary and the greater United States.
