Thank you for helping us Tackle Breast Cancer  Designed to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer care and research, the Eagles Tackling Breast Cancer campaign expanded in 2005 with a partnership with Thomas Jefferson University Hospital. In 2006 the Eagles introduced a new pink ribbon t-shirt.
Through the generosity of our fans we raised nearly $750,000 over the past three years! Book & Toy Drive & Events  Each year the Eagles encourage their fans to help make the holiday time brighter for Philadelphians in need by joining with the U.S. Marines for their annual "Toys for Tots" Book & Toy drive. This year's Book & Toy Drive was held on December 9th when the Eagles took on the New York Giants at Lincoln Financial Field. Fans were encouraged to bring a new, unwrapped book or toy to Lincoln Financial Field! All toys collected were donated to children through the U.S. Marines Toys for Tots Drive, and all books collected were donated to children through Eagles Youth Partnership, the Eagles' non-profit, charitable wing. Thank you to all of the fans that helped make this year's Book and Toy Drive a success!!! Food Drive & Events  Each year, the Eagles Women's Association and the Philadelphia Eagles team up with Campbell's Chunky Soup to ask fans to help Tackle Hunger by donating their non-perishable food items at a home game at Lincoln Financial Field.
This year's Eagles Women's Association Food Drive was held on November 4th when the Eagles took on the Dallas Cowboys at Lincoln Financial Field. All of the food collected was given to Philabundance to help the needy in our area. Collection bins were placed outside all entrances to Lincoln Financial Field through kickoff. The Philadelphia Eagles would like to thank of the fans for their generosity during this years drive. Cell Phone Collection & Events  As part of Verizon Wireless' HopeLine program, the Eagles and Verizon Wireless hosted our annual cell phone drive for Verizon Wireless' Hopline program.

Volunteers were stationed at every entrance to the stadium, and collected wireless phones of any brand or model, and accessories such as chargers and car adapters as well. All cell phones that were collected will be donated towards domestic violence prevention and shelters in our area. Thanks to all the fans who donated their old phones! If you still have wireless phones or any accessories that you wish to donate please send them to: Verizon Wireless HopeLine
NFL Tuesdays Hometown Huddle and United Way  During this national day of community service, NFL players trade in their shoulder pads, cleats and helmets for tool belts, aprons or mud boots-whatever's needed-to lend aid and assistance to people in their communities. During Hometown Huddle, approximately 300 players, team reps and their families interact with literally thousands of people who benefit from United Way support throughout the country.
As part of the NFL's partnership with the United Way, the Philadelphia Eagles work closely with the Southeastern Pennsylvania chapter of this nationwide charity. Halloween Hospital Visits Each year the Eagles visit a local children's hospital in costume around Halloween time to cheer up the kids there.
