Lynchburg Mayor Michael Gillette presented former Liberty Christian Academy and Liberty University star Rashad Jennings a philanthropist award for his contributions to the area. Jennings currently plays for the New York Giants and created a foundation in his name. The foundation's mission is to support area families, and to stimulate positive youth development through education, mentor initiatives, and health and fitness programs.
