Family is paramount for Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie.

He has referenced the Eagles family in public remarks time after time again during his 27 years leading the organization. Family also inspired what will be one of his lasting legacies.

Lurie’s brother has autism. Lurie’s family is certainly not alone, as one in 54 families has someone who is on the spectrum. Lurie decided to leverage the power of the Philadelphia Eagles brand as a force for change in the autism community. But, as Eagles Autism Foundation Executive Director Ryan Hammond explains, what started as driving funds and raising with goals of millions of dollars has become woven into the fabric of who the Eagles are every single day.

Saturday was a momentous occasion at Lincoln Financial Field as the fourth annual Eagles Autism Challenge, presented by Lincoln Financial Group, was a reunion and a triumph. After the COVID-19 pandemic forced the 2020 event to be held virtually, over 1,800 people participated in the ride, run, or walk event. Afterward, everyone celebrated together with music, food, and sensory-friendly activities.

Eagles coaches and players were on hand to offer pep talks before the events and show their support, including All-Pro center Jason Kelce, who raised $50,000 as a guest bartender in Sea Isle, New Jersey, over the summer only to match that donation with his wife, Kylie.

It was a powerful showing by the Eagles family and the autism community. It was Lurie’s vision come to life.

“Our biggest strength is bringing people together to do incredible things,” Lurie told the audience at Friday night’s Kickoff Event

JASON KELCE UNVEILS THE TRUTH BEHIND BABY RUMOR MADNESS: THE HILARIOUS TALE OF A MILAN TRIP WITHOUT HIM!

Jason Kelce has cleared up rumors from the ‘made-up universe’ about wife Kylie being pregnant with their fourth child, insisting they do not have another baby on the way.

Kelce, who announced his retirement from the NFL on Monday after 13 years as a Philadelphia Eagles player, already has three daughters with Kylie, his wife of six years.

However, last month false rumors surfaced that the couple are expecting a fourth child, which Jason has shut down on his and brother Travis’ latest New Heights podcast.

And after her recent trip to Milan Fashion Week, the former Eagles center joked that he would have a problem if the baby was made in Italy.

‘Apparently Kylie is pregnant with our fourth child, it’s a boy,’ he told Travis. ‘In this made-up universe.’

Travis then joked: ‘You guys made a baby in Milan?’

Jason replied: ‘That’s right! If she got pregnant in Milan we’ve got some things to answer here.’

Along with the pregnancy speculation, Jason and Travis went on to rubbish a few more myths in both the media and online, including a fake photo of the former dressed up as Alan from famous comedy movie The Hangover during his recent trip to Las Vegas for the Super Bowl.

‘That photo of me, Zak Galifanakis as The Hangover, it’s crazy,’ Jason said. ‘There’s a three-year video of [daughter] Wyatt before a game this year, people made it sound like she was playing center.

‘People will just say anything, anything that get them likes and clicks. People don’t vet anything.’

Travis also touched on a report claiming he and girlfriend Taylor Swift are planning to leave the US if Donald Trump gets re-elected as President later this year.

‘Don’t believe everything you read, especially on what I’ve got going on,’ the Kansas City Chiefs tight end said.

Jason responded: ‘Apparently leaving the country?’

His brother Travis also denied reports claiming he and girlfriend Taylor Swift are planning to leave the US

‘I’m staying in America, America will always be home,’ Travis insisted.

Travis and Jason were met with a standing ovation at the Cavaliers’ Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse as they were honored by their hometown team on Tuesday night.

Jason announced his retirement on Monday while younger brother Travis is fresh off of his third Super Bowl win with the Chiefs last month.

And the duo were cheered on by the crowd after a tribute video was shown for Jason, with the Eagles great holding up a Cleveland Heights T-shirt and Travis holding up a framed No. 62 Cavs jersey with ‘Kelce’ on it.

The brothers are Cleveland Heights, Ohio  natives and lifelong fans of their hometown Cavaliers, who beat the Celtics 105-104 on Tuesday.
