Jason Kelce Comments on 5K Charity Run for Autism: “We Had a Blast”

A run for the charity! Jason Kelce is off to a fresh and great start this offseason. After attending the Super Bowl LVIII game to support his brother Travis Kelce, the Philadelphia Eagles center is now into “running.”

The Mike’s Seafood Run/Walk hosted a charity event in Philadelphia, to raise money for autistic patients, mostly children, who face “a developmental disability caused by differences in the brain.” Therefore, being involved with the noble cause for a long time, elder Kelce participated and finished off the race. Here’s the full story:

Jason Kelce took around 43-minutes to finish off the race!

Jason Kelce participated in a 5K race in Philly to raise money for autism on Saturday, February 17. Kelce shared a video of his running with other participants on his official X account and wrote, “‘Ran’ is a generous verb for what occurred. But we had a blast.” To honor and acknowledge the participants, including Kelce, the event host “Mike’s Seafood Run Walk for Autism,” posted some pictures of the charity run event, where thousands of people participated to help promote the development of children and people in need.

Along with the pictures, they also shared a caption saying, “Thank you so much to everyone who came out and supported our 16th annual Mike’s Seafood Run Walk for Autism!! ❤️We couldn’t do this event without your support and donations, all for a great cause. Hope to see you there again next year!!!😁”

Kelce finished the race in a little over 43 minutes, and after reaching the finishing line, he was greeted with a warm welcome from his fans, who were present on the sidelines to cheer for the 36-year-old. This 5K race holds a special significance for the Eagles center, as he, his wife Kylie and his mother Donna Kelce, have been actively involved with the “Eagles Autism Foundation” since its establishment in 2019. But that’s not all!

Jason Kelce has also launched a foundation for the needy, adding some more nobility to his resume!

Jason Kelce is doing a lot for Philadelphia!

Just like his wife Kylie, who consistently expresses her love for Philadelphia, Jason Kelce has been actively contributing to the Pennsylvania city. Besides this 5K autism race participation, Kelce launched the (Be)Philly Foundation in October 2022. This non-profit foundation is dedicated to offering education and support to the needy students in the Philadelphia area.

With a fundraising goal of $100K, Kelce’s foundation received notable support not only from the local community but also from the Chiefs Kingdom. And that’s the beauty of football. Following the Chiefs’ victory in Super Bowl LVII against Philly, the Red Army’s faithful generously donated to the (Be)Philly Foundation, surpassing the initial fundraising target.

This demonstrates the impact of Kelce’s influence and the unity fostered by the NFL community.
