Martinez and Gabrielle Union will also be presenters, and Jackie will be performing her hit song, “Angel.” Rodney Atkins will perform his new hit “Take a Back Road.” Hosted by Bob Costas, the American Giving Awards are the first-ever televised celebrity tribute to community heroes, offering five charities an opportunity to share in $2 million in Chase grants. Now through December 8th, Facebook fans of Chase Community Giving and Chase online customers will determine how much each charity will receive by voting for their favorite featured charity online. The winning charity will receive a $1 million grant from Chase, while the runner-up will be granted $500,000, and a third organization will receive a $250,000 grant. Two organizations will be given $125,000 grants. The charity receiving the $1 million grand prize will be revealed during the televised broadcast. The AGAs will air Saturday, December 10th, on NBC.
