After a career in Philadelphia that lasted more than a decade, former All-Pro center Jason Kelce is giving back to the community.
>Kelce and his wife, Kylie Kelce, held the sixth annual Team 62 at the Ocean Drive fundraiser on June 24, raising a record-breaking $1.26 million for the Eagles Autism Foundation. The event was held at Ocean Drive in Sea Isle City and featured current and former Eagles stars as "celebrity bartenders."
>"We are beyond thankful for everyone's support and generosity in setting a Team 62 fundraising record," said Jason and Kylie Kelce said in a release. "While we are certainly humbled by the overwhelming success this year, it's not surprising when you're surrounded by such an incredible group of people. The growth of this event all starts with our good friends at the OD for enthusiastically leaning into this idea of ours back in 2021. Six years later, we now stand here amazed at what we've accomplished for the autism community. A special thank you also goes out to the Eagles organization, the incredible town of Sea Isle City, and most importantly, the best fans in the world for always showing up and supporting such a worthy cause."
