Since joining the Vikings in 2006, the outside linebacker has volunteered with several local organizations, including Memorial Blood Centers, Sanford Health, University of Minnesota Masonic Children's Hospital, Fuel Up To Play 60, The Salvation Army, Taste of the NFL, United Way and Make-A-Wish Foundation of Minnesota.
In 2009, Greenway and his wife, Jenni, started the Lead The Way Foundation to provide seriously ill and physically challenged children throughout the Twin Cities "with daily support and life-changing experiences." Since its inception, Greenway's foundation has raised more than $1.3 million.
Greenway is one of 32 NFL team representatives vying for the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year award. The winner will be named at the Super Bowl.
This is the second time Greenway has been selected as the Vikings' Community Man of the Year. He also won the award in 2011.
Yesterday, Greenway was named as a finalist for the inaugural NFL Sportsmanship Award.
The Food Network host is in town filming episodes of “Diners, Drive-ins and Dives.”
