Eli Manning
During the football season, Eli Manning spends his weekends heaving touchdown passes and leading the New York Giants to victory. In the offseason, one can argue that Manning is even more productive with all of his charitable work. With quotes directly from Manning himself, author Barry Wilner tells us why Eli Manning is a champion both between the lines and after the season is over.

Sports Stars Who Care series. These books touch on the philanthropic efforts of the title sports stars, in some cases greatly padded by biographical information and career stats (Albert Pujols started a foundation for kids with Down syndrome, which his daughter has, making his efforts seem more personal). Beyond the do-gooder hook there's nothing much new, but reluctant readers will appreciate the accessible writing style and sports photographs. Reading list, websites.
