Wherever Peyton Manning has gone, he's tried to make as lasting an impact off the football field as he does on it. He has established a charity foundation that gives grants to organizations in each state he's put down roots: Louisiana, Tennessee, Indiana and Colorado. And now with the impact of a sudden tragedy in a place that he loves, he wanted to find a way he could help.
On Thursday it was announced that Manning has started the Chattanooga Heroes Fund at the Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga in honor of those who lost their lives and those who were wounded in the recent shootings in Tennessee, and to help support their families at this difficult time.
Manning has made an initial contribution to the fund, and additional donations can be made online at CFGC.org, by phone at (423) 266-0586 or by mail (more information below).
The fund will provide financial support to help the families and individuals directly affected by the shooting to receive longer-term financial to alleviate their need. The Chattanooga Heroes Fund intends to bridge a gap between the short-term financial needs and what challenges they may face in years to come.

Cut that meat!
Where will money be spent? Funding for their children?
It's pretty clear from the article. Do you have a larger point?
Peyton Manning is a class act for Tennessee and Chattanooga. If only all of our athletic stars had the class and dignity of Peyton Manning!
I’m a Steelers fan, but always liked Peyton and his father.
No just small print on cell phone and poor eyesight
Old Archie raised some fine boys.
I am a lifelong Bills fan (went to their first AFC game). I lived in Indy for 8 years and I can tell you Peyton Manning is a class act.
Peyton Manning should have won at least a couple of more Super Bowl games, but outside of that, he’s one of the truly “great guys” in football and a sure-fire first-ballot Hall of Famer. The possibility of Peyton Manning eventually owning the Indianapolis Colts is not that far-fetched, either.
Good for him.
Why would any money be needed? Didnt Obamagube already give them 28 million dollars?Oh wait they were white? Never mind my mistake.
True class act
Peyton’s a class act all the way.
