Kylie Kelce recently announced that her husband, retired Philadelphia Eagles legend Jason Kelce, hosted a record-breaking charity event that raised an impressive $865,000 and counting.
The fourth annual Team 62 fundraiser, held at The Ocean Drive in Sea Isle City, New Jersey, benefited the Eagles Autism Foundation, with more donations continuing to come in since the event started on Saturday.
Eagles fans flocked to the beach town, eager to catch a glimpse of Kelce and other Eagles players guest bartending for the cause.
Kylie Kelce took to Instagram to express her amazement at the event’s success and the community’s generosity. “The enthusiasm and generosity around this event never ceases to amaze me,” she wrote. “People can say what they want about Philly and Eagles fans, but it’s things like this that make it clear why we are so proud to be a part of this community.”

She also hinted at the future, revealing that the fifth annual fundraiser is scheduled for June 25, 2025. “We might throw snowballs at Santa, but we’ll also throw money across a bar and chug some beers to support people with Autism!” she added humorously.
Jason Kelce was seen behind the bar, donning a green-and-white Mexican wrestling mask, taking selfies with enthusiastic fans.
The event’s success can partly be attributed to the Kelce family’s rising mainstream popularity. This year, the fundraiser included a family-friendly component, expanding beyond the bar party that was previously limited to those over 21.
In addition to the main event at The Ocean Drive, the charity also hosted “The Eagles Takeover” one block away. Former Eagles defensive tackle Beau Allen, who had previously teased Jason Kelce on the golf course, served fans Rita’s Italian Ice and took pictures with Donna and Kylie Kelce.
Reflecting on the event, Jason Kelce expressed his pride and joy. “This is by far the most unique and fun event that I’ve ever been a part of from a charity standpoint,” he said, according to an Eagles press release.
The overwhelming success of the fundraiser underscores the strong bond between the Kelce family, the Eagles community, and their fans, all united in support of a worthy cause. The anticipation for next year’s event is already building, promising even more community spirit and generosity.
