KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — May 5, 2025
NFL legend and University of Tennessee icon Peyton Manning has stunned the sports world with an extraordinary act of generosity, donating his entire $45.5 million bonus and endorsement earnings to charity and homeless support initiatives.
The announcement, made through the PeyBack Foundation early Monday, reveals that Manning is redirecting the full amount toward programs that aid underprivileged communities, support youth education, and provide critical resources to the homeless across Tennessee and beyond.
“Being a Volunteer isn’t just about football—it’s about showing up for your people when they need you most,” Manning said in a brief statement. “Tennessee gave me everything. This is me giving back.”
The donation includes recent earnings from endorsements and a lifetime achievement bonus from various corporate partners, and it marks one of the largest single contributions ever made by a professional athlete to charitable causes.
Manning’s gesture has drawn widespread praise from fans, civic leaders, and fellow athletes, who are calling it a “masterclass in humility and leadership.”
University of Tennessee officials expressed deep gratitude, with Chancellor Donde Plowman stating, “Peyton Manning continues to define what it means to be a Volunteer—not just on the field, but in life.”
This act solidifies Manning’s legacy not only as a football legend but also as a humanitarian whose impact will resonate far beyond the game.
