The Second Mile
The Second Mile is a nonprofit organization for underprivileged youth, providing help for at-risk children and support for their parents in Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1977 by Jerry Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant college football coach. The charity said its youth programs serve as many as 100,000 children annually. Since November 2011, the organization has been preparing to cease operations after Sandusky was charged and found guilty of child sex abuse.
==Early work and praise==
U.S. President George H. W. Bush praised the group as a "shining example" of charity work in a 1990 letter,〔(Sandusky Had Access to Vulnerable Kids Via Charity (Associated Press, Nov. 12, 2011) )〕 one of that president's much-promoted "Thousand points of light" encouragements to volunteer community organizations.〔Ganim, Sara, ("Jerry Sandusky, former Penn State football staffer, subject of grand jury investigation" ), ''Patriot-News'', March 31, 2011 8:00/8:20 am.

Cal Ripken Jr. among others was reported to have been only marginally involved or not at all involved and Ripken asked for his name to be removed; and the list was removed from the organization's website.〔Ferran, Lee, and Emily Stanitz, ("Celebrities Unaware of Sandusky Charity Board Membership" ), ABC News ''The Blotter'' blog, Nov. 17, 2011.
