History was made by the Philadelphia Eagles Saturday afternoon. And no, it had nothing to do with the team's second Lombardi Trophy victory back in February.
For the 8th year in a row, the Eagles held their annual Autism Challenge as a way to make money for charity in their Austism Foundation. Saturday saw the organization set a record, raising over $10 million, as the team announced later in the day.
The Autism foundation created by the Eagles has been a way for the organization to give back to the community and raise awareness to focuses on supporting autism research and care programs.
“In so many ways, this has been a special year, and now the success of the 2025 Eagles Autism Challenge is the latest accomplishment,” Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie said on Saturday.
“We have continued to hit record-breaking numbers each year since 2018, which is a testament to the support and contributions of everyone involved. On behalf of the Eagles, we sincerely thank our participants, donors, volunteers, and partners – including Lincoln Financial – for their ongoing commitment to turning awareness into action for the autism community.”
Philadelphia has raised plenty of money during their race over the last few years. Several current and former stars of the organization were seen celebrating and racing throughout the day including Jason Kelce and Jalen Hurts.
Philadelphia's Austism Challenge is one of the largest foundations by a single team in the NFL today.
And with their goal of $10 million reached, it's clear the event is only getting more popular.
