After a disappointing week thus far, Andy Dalton has some good news.

Dalton, who was benched in favor of rookie quarterback Ryan Finley on Tuesday, has since seen a near $4,000 increase in donations for his non-profit the Andy and JJ Dalton Foundation.

The over 200 donations, which according to the foundation's managing director Amy Floyd, started flowing in on Wednesday have all had something in common.

"Probably 95 to 98 percent have been $14 donations," Floyd said.

The foundation, which Dalton and his wife JJ run, serves the families of pediatric patients in various medical facilities throughout Cincinnati and its surrounding communities. The two were inspired to start the foundation in 2011 while they both still attended Texas Christian University. Since then, the program has served close to 5 million people.

Here are some highlights from the foundation's programs:

Starting Andy and JJ's hub

A program that provides patients with entertainment and educational resources such as iPads, TVs and gaming consoles during their hospital stays.

Date Night

Gives the parents of ill children a break from the strain. Those couples have been treated to an all-expensive paid dinners while the children get to enjoy a fun evening of face painting, Wii gaming and Ice cream.

King for a Day

All expenses paid days at King's Island, where the families can enjoy the park with the perks of fast lane passes, snack vouchers and a private lunch with Andy and JJ.

It's spikes like these that have allowed the program to increase its reach.

This isn't the first time the foundation has seen a spike in $14 donations. In 2018, Buffalo Bills fans started the trend after Dalton's game-winning touchdown to Tyler Boyd against the Ravens lifted the Bills into the playoffs for the first time since 1999.

And while the donations have come from all around the world, even including the United Kingdom, Buffalo still continues to support the quarterback that got it into the playoffs.

"The Buffalo Mafia has shown up," Floyd said. "They never disappoint."

The dollar amount may be relatively small, but the impact was anything but.

"People just think 'oh it's 14 dollars what is that gonna do?' Well, it's done a lot."

The kickstart for this time's spike isn't as happy as a game-winning touchdown against a divisional rival. After an 0-8 start, the team decided to go in a different direction. Still, though, Dalton is able to pursue his other passion thanks to the support of his many fans from around the world.

"I think it's just a tribute to the man he is," Floyd said. "He puts his heart into everything he does this is just another reflection of that."
