Bengals star Ickey Woods and Chiefs Hall of Famer Christian Okoye are hosting a “Charity Championship” ahead of the AFC Championship game.

Woods posted on his twitter asking which fanbase can raise the most amount of money by the AFC Championship trophy presentation.

Woods is raising money for the Jovante Woods Foundation, a foundation started in honor of Ickey’s 16-year-old son who died due to complications of an asthma attack. The foundation raises money for awareness and education about asthma.

Okoye is raising money for the Christian Okoye Foundation, which helps at-risk and underprivileged youth, by hosting free athletic clinics, where well-known professional athletes donate their time to coach the athletes.

The Bengals also announced that Woods will again be this year’s guest legend.

The AFC Championship game will take place Sunday at 6:30 p.m. on WHIO-TV.
