Daily News | ‘It takes all of us’: Jason and Kylie Kelce are driving forces for the Eagles Autism Foundation
Ryan Hammond stood five years ago in the auditorium of the Eagles practice facility, invited at the end of a team meeting to speak about the franchise’s new charitable foundation. She had been recently hired to start the Eagles Autism Foundation and Hammond needed some help. She needed the players — not just the quarterback but everyone — to buy in. Finally, a hand went up. It was Jason Kelce.
That meeting — in Kylie Kelce’s parents living room shortly after they started dating — was the first time Jason Kelce ever interacted with someone diagnosed with autism. He likely crossed paths with autistic people growing up near Cleveland but can’t remember anyone who had been placed on the spectrum. And then he met Quinn.
“I joke around and say that if Tim didn’t like Jason then it wouldn’t have worked out,” Kylie Kelce said. “But Tim really does have a sixth sense for good people. That was a defining moment in our relationship. Like if Tim is giving you the green light this early, I guess you’re good then. Brandon Graham partnered last week for a fundraiser with a local pizza place. Jalen Hurts wore an Eagles Autism Foundation cleat during a game this season and Lane Johnson painted the field this month for the foundation’s radiothon. Offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland sold a t-shirt to raise money for the foundation after Jordan Mailata — who was one of 30 players to ride in the 10-mile bike race — said he graduated from Stoutland University.
The manager of the Ocean Drive was at Hammond’s house the next morning with a legal pad and a bag of donuts. The idea was simple: Kelce — who became a Philadelphia icon with his Super Bowl parade speech — would be a celebrity bartender.
