"We are so grateful to our Thank You Fans Matching Gift donors for presenting this opportunity for Eagles Autism Challenge participants to meet or even exceed their fundraising goals for the year, while celebrating our dedicated fanbase. This donation will help us continue to make a transformational impact, turning autism awareness into action as we trend toward another record-breaking year of fundraising!"

The Eagles Autism Challenge, championed by Jeffrey Lurie, is a one-day bike ride and a family-friendly 5K Run/Walk that starts and ends at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia. This event will feature the Wawa Hoagie 10-Mile Ride, the FreedomPay 5K Run/Walk, and the West Sensory Walk. A virtual participant option is available for individuals who want to fundraise but are unable to ride, run, or walk on event day.
