Peyton Manning and his PeyBack Foundation recently raised $40,000 in Knoxville. The money raised will stay in the Knoxville/East Tennessee area through the Foundation's annual grant program and various holiday programs for youth based organizations.

The PeyBack Foundation, a public non-profit corporation, was established by Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning in 1999 to promote the future success of disadvantaged youth by assisting programs that provide leadership growth and opportunities for children at risk in Tennessee, Indiana and Louisiana. The Foundation has donated more than $3 million since its inception.
