INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -Peyton Manning has won the Youthlinks Indiana’s National Pathfinder Award, joining his mother and father who shared the honor in 2006.
The award is given to individuals who show a commitment to improving the lives of America’s children.
Manning is the second NFL player to win the award – the other is his father, Archie – but he is the only active NFL player to win. Peyton and Archie Manning are the first father-son tandem ever honored by the organization.
Manning shared the stage Sunday with Indiana Pathfinder Award winner Ron Hunter. The IUPUI men’s basketball coach gained national attention by collecting shoes for underprivileged children.
Previous award winners include Larry Bird, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Oscar Robertson and John Wooden.
