2021 My Cause My Cleats Organizations

EAGAN, Minn. – When Minnesota hosts Pittsburgh at U.S. Bank Stadium for Thursday Night Football, the Vikings will be using their feet to promote causes close to their hearts.

Even though the COVID-19 pandemic once again influenced the community events players have been able to participate in this year, nearly the entire team is making an impact through the NFL’s annual My Cause My Cleats campaign.

Players will don custom-designed cleats that recently were unveiled to the athletes. The footwear is painted to represent respective causes players selected to raise awareness and support for.

Among the organizations represented this season are some of the players’ personal foundations or charities, including Raise the Barr foundation and Thielen Foundation.

Other players are again shining light on organizations close to their heart: Pancreatic Cancer Action Network (C.J. Ham), Big Brothers Big Sisters Twin Cities (Harrison Smith), Boys & Girls Clubs (Kirk Cousins), the Minnesota Vikings Foundation (Dalvin Cook) and Golden Charter Academy (Eric Kendricks), among others.

Below is a full list of the Vikings participating in this year’s “My Cause, My Cleats” campaign through custom kicks. Also, keep an eye on Vikings.com all this week for several feature stories highlighting some players’ passions.

NOTE: Players are listed in alphabetical order and include active roster, practice squad and Injured Reserve.
