Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning went to Chattanooga last weekend to visit with personnel at the Naval Marine Corps Reserve Center that was the site of an attack by a gunman that claimed five lives and left others wounded.
Manning’s involvement with those affected by the shooting won’t end there. On Thursday, Manning, who played at the University of Tennessee, announced the formation of the Chattanooga Heroes Fund at the Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga. The fund will provide financial support to victims and their families and “intends to bridge a gap between the short-term financial needs and what challenges they may face in years to come.
