Saturday marks the seventh annual Eagles Autism Challenge at Lincoln Financial Field!
This one-day bike ride and 5K event is dedicated to raising awareness and funds for the autism community, featuring Eagles players, coaches, and alumni! One hundred percent of participant-raised funds go toward research and care programs. The Eagles Autism Challenge has raised more than $22 million and all signs point to a record-setting year for the event with 5,000 participants registered to date.
There is still time to get involved – whether it's the Wawa Classic 30-mile bike ride, the Wawa Shorti and Junior 10-miles rides, the Freedompay 5K run/walk, or the sensory walk for neurodiverse individuals. Use the promo code "MAY24" to waive the registration fee. Also, all fundraising minimums are not due until the end of May, but you can get a head start thanks to a matching gift drive that is currently underway!

"So the last couple of years, me and Grant Calcaterra bike. We're always in the middle of the pack up until we get to the Rocky Steps and then we have to run up and down the Rocky Steps listening to the theme song," Cam Jurgens said. "We finished last both years and we're probably going to finish last this year. That's my favorite memory. That's what it's about. It's not a race."
