The Saturday morning rain in Philadelphia didn’t stop the over 4,500 riders, runners, and walkers from participating in the sixth annual Eagles Autism Challenge presented by Lincoln Financial Group.

Eagles Autism Challenge was born out of Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie’s vision in 2018 – autism’s growing prevalence encouraged him to use his platform to inspire change. Since the inaugural event, Eagles Autism Foundation has raised more than $22 million for care and research – a record-breaking $6.2 million (and counting!) came from this year alone and donations through the end of May will increase those totals.

“We created this as our philanthropic priority off the field and with Jeffrey’s vision and support, we don’t have an identity crisis,” said Executive Director of the Eagles Autism Foundation Ryan Hammond.

“We know what we’re doing. We’re taking this responsibility for the now 1 in 36 people affected by autism. This is a meaningful connection to our team on every level – we have more than 25,000 donors this season.”

The event featured the Wawa Classic 30-Mile and Wawa Shorti 10-mile bike rides, the FreedomPay 5k run and Sensory Walk.

A.J. Brown had the biggest scare of the day when a speeding car nearly hit Philadelphia’s All-Pro wide receiver while approaching a stop sign.

Here are highlights and photos of the event.

Eagles’ to wear custom practice jersey’s that’ll be signed, auctioned off to benefit the Eagles Autism Foundation

Eagles will wear specially-designed practice jerseys on Friday, August 21

The Eagles annual Autism Challenge is a one-day bike ride and family-friendly 5K run/walk that begins and ends at Lincoln Financial Field and is annually held during training camp. The Covid-19 pandemic caused this year’s event to be postponed, but the Birds will still do their part.

Earlier on Thursday, the Philadelphia Eagles announced that they’ll wear specially-designed practice jerseys on Friday, August 21, paying tribute to the Eagles Autism Foundation.

Each jersey will be signed by the Eagles player and then auctioned off through the 2020 Eagles Radiothon presented by Firstrust Bank and The Green Family Foundation as part of the team’s ongoing commitment to autism research and care.

“These jerseys were uniquely inspired by our organizational commitment to autism and call special attention to an important cause affecting millions of families around the world,” said Jeffrey Lurie, Philadelphia Eagles Chairman, and CEO. “I am extremely proud of our players for their leadership and support, and would like to thank them for also leveraging this opportunity to help drive critical funds for autism research in the process.”

The specially designed practice jerseys have been intentionally designed to showcase the team’s dedicated efforts and to elevate the platform of the Eagles Autism Foundation, which has raised more than $9 million for cutting-edge autism research and programs since 2018.

Inspired by Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, these exclusive, one-of-a-kind jerseys feature Energy Green numbers and nameplates, along with the Eagles Autism Foundation signature logo prominently displayed on the front side and shoulder.
