Kicks for Critters challenges Chargers fans to kick in a few coins for the Zoo each time placekicker Rolf Benirschke kicks a field goal. Benirschke himself, has pledged a $50 contribution for each regular season field goal he boots. Another major contributor to the campaign is the Atlas Hotels, Inc., which is donating $1000 per field goal.
