Vikings Teammates Select Kyle Rudolph as 2017 Ed Block Courage Award Recipient
Eden Prairie, MN (January 4, 2018) – Vikings TE Kyle Rudolph has been selected as the club’s 2017 Ed Block Courage Award recipient by his teammates. The seventh-year tight end earned the respect of his teammates and coaches with his dedication to helping young children at the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s hospital. The Notre Dame alum and team captain earned the Vikings Community Man of the Year award after opening Kyle Rudolph’s End Zone, a place for patients to relax, spend times with friends and family, and escape the grind of the hospital. Rudolph was inspired to give back by his experience as a young child in children’s hospitals while his brother fought and defeated neuroblastoma cancer. Along with the End Zone, Rudolph sponsors Holiday Huddles at the hospital and raised money for the hospital through his Draft Party, Lord Fletcher’s Lake Bash, Champions for Children Golf Classic and Rudy’s Red Eye. Rudolph is also active with the Starkey Hearing Foundation, MATTER, Second Harvest Heartland, American Cancer Society, James Beard Foundation and Athletes First Classic.
