Peyton Manning and the Peyback Foundation - Doing the minimum for the maximum attention


Peyton Manning touts his contributions to disadvantaged kids through the Peyback foundation. Per his website $320k since 1999. This is not all coming from Peyton though. Numerous corporate sponsors are listed.

Here's an open letter to you Peyton. You are taking a lot of money out of our city, Indianapolis, Marion County. We have schools that have been starved for funding for public projects like the football stadium that brought the Colts to Indianapolis. Here's a proposition: Pay to air condition one school per year.

The city is talking about funding a $200-300 million stadium. The least you can do is kick in $5 million for the kids. $300k of other peoples' money just isn't that impressive.
