In two months, the Chattanooga Heroes Fund -- established by Peyton Manning and his family in partnership with Tennessee Senator Bob Corker -- has raised over $1 million, which is an endowment large enough to sustain the fund for the foreseeable future, the Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga (CFGC) announced Wednesday.
The fund was established to support the families of the servicemen who lost their lives or were wounded in the July 16 shootings in Chattanooga, Tenn.
"We are overwhelmed by the outpouring of support shown to these families through contributions to the Chattanooga Heroes Fund," Manning said.
