Kyle Rudolph is a former NFL tight end for the Minnesota Vikings. Rudolph played his college football at Notre Dame University before being drafted in the second round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Vikings. Rudolph was a 2x Pro Bowl selectee (2012, 2017). Off the field, Kyle is a philanthropist and works with Second Harvest Heartland to ensure kids and families have food on their tables throughout any difficulties brought on with COVID-19.
While still in the NFL, he founded Kyle Rudolph's End Zone, a charity initiative focused on supporting children and families dealing with serious illnesses. In partnership with the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital, Rudolph opened the End Zone in 2018—a 2,500-square-foot therapeutic space designed for play, relaxation, and healing. The facility offers a place for young patients and their families to spend time together away from the stress of hospital treatments. His charity work reflects his commitment to the community and providing comfort to children in need.
