Bengal Jim is a Bengals "superfan" He does not work for the team though he was last season's Bengals Fan of the Year. As such, he gets interviewed a lot and is included in many promotional videos. He has a rather large, popular long-running tailgate (since 1993) that he puts on before ALL home games and many away games. The tailgate collects money for various Cincinnati charities and has food drives as well as toy drives yearly. I believe that I saw they have raised about $118,000 for charity this season. I suspect he does accept donations of food and such for the tailgate but you would have to ask him.
He rose to prominence because of last season's Super Bowl run
