Mike Zimmer Foundation to Provide Help, Honor Memory

MINNEAPOLIS — Mike Zimmer and his family on Saturday officially launched The Mike Zimmer Foundation, which will give them opportunities to help others while honoring a lady who never missed an opportunity to care for people in need.

The Vikings head coach, his daughters, Corri and Marki, and son, Vikings linebackers coach Adam Zimmer spoke on behalf of their wife and mother, Vikki Zimmer, who tragically passed away at age 50 on Oct. 8, 2009.

Mike and Vikki met when he was an assistant at Weber State. He was an aspiring coach, and she had a passion for ballet dancing.
