Adam Thielen is a receiver by trade, but the Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowler is giving during the COVID-19 crisis.

The Vikings announced on Thursday that The Thielen Foundation is donating $100,000 "to help organizations that are supporting families in need, providing meals and caring for patients." The 29-year-old will also host a radiothon alongside KFAN and iHeart Radio-Minneapolis on April 9 to continue fundraising.

"This community continues to amaze us with the support we give one another," Thielen said, per the team's official website. "Throughout this radiothon, our hope is that we can make a greater impact together during this difficult time and also provide some entertainment relief throughout the day.
