A fundraising campaign has been initiated on Ravens tight end Dalton Kincaid's behalf following his dropped pass against the Kansas City Chiefs this Sunday.

A Ravens fan named Will Funk-Heiser launched a GoFundMe page to support a charity close to the tight end's heart just minutes after the latter lost against the Chiefs by 32-29, costing the team a ticket to the Super Bowl. All funds raised by the GoFundMe page will be donated to the Summit Center for Autism, the Page states.


Fans launch GoFundMe in Dalton Kincaid's name weeks after they did the same for Mark Andrews

Read what the GoFundMe page states below:

"As many of you know, Bills TE Dalton Kincaid made a phenomenal attempt to catch Josh Allens last pass of the season but couldn't haul it in, upsetting a lot of Bills fans. We want Ravens flock to donate to Summit Center for autism, the charity Dalton works with and try and return the favor Bills mafia did for us and Mark Andrews. Let's raise what we can, please repost!"

At the time of writing, well over $7,000 has been raised out of the $10,000 goal. Alms have come in from over 270 people, with only 23% left for the page to reach its goal. The Summit Center is a non-profit organization located in Western New York. It aids people with autism and other such challenges.

Dalton Kincaid has been a vocal advocate of the organization since 2023, and Buffalo's WKBW-TV has reported that he even chose the same as his charity for the NFL's "My Cause My Cleats" initiative for the last two consecutive years.

The fundraising campaign was launched on the heels of what the Bills Mafia similarly did for Mark Andrews after a tough game for him last week. During last Sunday's game, the Baltimore Ravens tight end fumbled, costing them their ticket to the AFC championship game.

Andrews later took to Instagram to apologize for his actions and responded to the outpour of love and support.

"It's impossible to adequately express how I feel. I'm absolutely gutted by what happened on Sunday," he wrote. "I'm devastated for my teammates, my coaches and Ravens fans. "I pour every ounce of my being into playing at the highest level possible, because I love my team and the game of football like nothing else. That is why it's taken me until now to collect my thoughts and address this publicly," he continued. "Even though the shock and disappointment are unlike anything I've felt before, I refuse to let the situation define me. I promise that this adversity will only make me stronger and fuel us as we move forward."

Not long after, a Bills fan launched a GoFundMe page that aimed to raise funds in favor of Breakthrough T1D, a non-profit organization that focuses on diabetes. Akin to Dalton Kincaid, Mark Andrews has also long been an advocate of the organization.
