The charity has been the center of a whirlwind of media attention since Sandusky was charged Nov. 5 by Pennsylvania state prosecutors. Sandusky, 67, has been charged with 40 counts related to sexual molestation of eight boys spanning a period between 1994 and 2009.

The Second Mile was established in 1977 by Sandusky and promotes that it serves children with physical, emotional and academic needs.
