Expressing his gratitude, Kelce remarked, “I’m honored Campbell’s Chunky created this ‘Legend Edition’ can to celebrate me and my football career.”

In addition to the special cans, Campbell’s is making a charitable donation of $62,000 to Kelce’s foundation, (Be)Philly.
(Be)Philly, founded by Kelce in 2022, is a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting Philadelphia public school students. Kelce expressed his heartfelt commitment to the organization, stating that he has “put a lot of heart into” it.
During his emotional retirement press conference at the Philadelphia Eagles Training Center, Kelce reflected on his lifelong passion for the game, which began during his childhood in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Tears flowed as he announced his retirement, nearly 40 minutes into his speech, while his brother Travis Kelce, aged 34, wiped away tears in the front row alongside Jason’s wife, Kylie Kelce, and their parents, Donna and Ed Kelce.
Jason spoke fondly about the bond with his brother, recalling their shared experiences in sports since childhood and the mutual support they provided each other throughout their careers.
