Peyton Manning establishes Heroes Fund to support Chattanooga shooting victims' families
While Peyton Manning’s on-field impact is well known, he also aims to impact people off the field.
Manning recently established the Chattanooga Heroes Fund at the Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga to support the families affected by the recent shootings.
Manning made an initial contribution to the fund, and additional donations can be made online at CFGC.org, by mail or by phone at (423) 266-0586.
“Our family has enjoyed a long-standing relationship with the great city of Chattanooga, and it has a very special place in our hearts,“ Manning said in a University of Tennessee athletics department news release. “But on July 16th, 2015, this strong, welcoming community was forever changed by the tragedy that unfolded.
“The five servicemen who gave their lives, the police officer who risked his life in order to protect others, and the actions of many other first responders were truly heroic. We are proud to establish the Chattanooga Heroes Fund to honor these heroes by helping to provide for the future of their families.”
