Overview
- Hendrickson and his wife, Alisa, gave $250,000 to The Cincy Hat Foundation on Monday, the group announced.
- The donation followed Karras’ joking post that forgiveness for Hendrickson’s move to the Ravens would cost $1 million after his free‑agent deal earlier this month.
- In a statement, Hendrickson said the tweet helped prompt the gift and that he is proud to support work serving adults with disabilities.
- Karras thanked his former teammate and noted the Bengals–Ravens rivalry continues, saying the contribution will help house adults with disabilities in Cincinnati.
- The Cincy Hat Foundation grew from Karras’ hat project and now funds housing initiatives and full‑ride UC TAP scholarships, with local coverage citing differing start dates but consistent mission and partnerships.
