My Cause My Cleats: Vikings Represent Nonprofits in Style 

2024_MCMC_Rusco-31

EAGAN, Minn. – When Minnesota hosts the Atlanta Falcons at U.S. Bank Stadium Sunday, the Vikings will be using their feet to promote causes close to their hearts.

In honor of the NFL's annual My Cause My Cleats initiative, players will don custom-painted kicks that recently were unveiled to the athletes. The footwear's individual designs will represent causes that players selected to raise awareness and support for.

Vikings coaches and football staff members also are participating in the initiative.

Among the organizations represented this season are some of the players' personal foundations or charities, Harrison's Playmakers, founded by Harrison Phillips largely to support young people with cognitive differences; Brian Asamoah II's Be Authentic Foundation, which focuses on young athletes in Accra, Ghana; and the Bynum Faith Foundation, a nonprofit started by Camryn Bynum and his family to provide aid and holistic relief to underprivileged communities across the U.S. and the Philippines.

Other players and individuals are again shining light on organizations close to their heart, which are listed below.

NOTE: Players are listed first and in alphabetical order; the list does include those on active roster, practice squad and Injured Reserve.
