AUTISM S FLY
www.EaglesAutismChallenge.org
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that
one in 59 people under the age of 21 living in the United States
are on the autism spectrum. Autism has become one of the
fastest-growing developmental disorders in the country, yet it
has historically been underfunded, misunderstood and under-
researched.
Championed by Eagles Chairman and CEO Jeffrey Lurie, the Eagles
Autism Challenge sets out to drive scientific breakthroughs and
establish Philadelphia as a major center for autism research and
care. One hundred percent of the participant-raised funds from
the team’s signature cycling and 5K run/walk event is directed
to the groundbreaking research being conducted at leading
Philadelphia institutions.
By providing critical resources, supporting scientific discoveries
and helping to position Philadelphia as a base for autism research
and care, the Eagles Autism Challenge is creating a major shift
from awareness to action.
Led by Jeffrey Lurie, head coach Doug Pederson, players,
coaches, alumni, Eagles fans and autism supporters, the second
annual Eagles Autism Challenge raised more than $3.5 million.
A total of 3,645 participants came out to bike, run and walk on
Saturday, May 19 at Lincoln Financial Field, while a remarkable
25,301 donors supported their fundraising efforts.
In partnership with the founding beneficiaries - Children’s
Hospital of Philadelphia, Drexel University, and Thomas Jefferson
University and Jefferson Health - along with Philadelphia
institutions specializing in autism research, the Eagles are
bringing fresh ways of thinking to the field. Thanks to the $2.5
million raised in 2018, a total of eight research projects have
received grant funding for exploratory work in the field of autism.
What we learn will be shared both nationally and globally so that
we can continue to transform lives and advance autism research.

FOUNDATION
Founded in 1995, Eagles Charitable Foundation (ECF) is a 501(c)
(3) public charity committed to improving the health outcomes for
youth in the Greater Philadelphia area.
ECF leverages the star power of the Philadelphia Eagles and uses
its unique platform to focus on two specific areas of need in the
community: providing vital eye care for underserved youth and
investing key resources into autism research and services.
In order to have this monumental impact on the community, public
and individual donors are called upon to lend a helping hand. The
Eagles, corporations, foundations and kindhearted individuals
have all played an integral role in supporting the more than one
million children in the tri-state region that ECF has assisted since
its inception.

IN THE S FLY
As proud Philadelphians who take their responsibility to the
community seriously, the Eagles believe there is no offseason to
good citizenship.
Since Jeffrey Lurie became owner in 1994, the Eagles have
generously contributed more than $25 million in charitable giving
to organizations and neighborhoods throughout the Greater
Philadelphia region. Under Lurie’s direct leadership and guidance,
the Eagles continue to strengthen and support these organizations
through joint effort partnerships, all based on the belief that strong
non-profits build strong communities.
The Eagles host a variety of events and campaigns that aim to
inspire, motivate and educate. As a professional football team, the
Eagles have a unique platform to reach the community and have
long-lasting effects.
The team takes great pride in serving the fans, local non-profits
and the region at large, because to the Eagles, making the
Delaware Valley proud is just as important off the field as it is on it.
