LOUISVILLE, Ky. — During the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears football game, Vikings fans in Louisville made the halftime just a little bit sweeter by donating to a nonprofit on Sunday.

The fans will help raise money for a local nonprofit during their biggest games.

For this game, fans donated $4,500 to Maryhurst, a nonprofit that offers counseling, treatment and transitional living.

They also hosted a raffle for those at the bar.
