After Helping Raise $6.2 Million, Travis Kelce and Jason Kelce Take Beer Battle to ‘New Heights’ to Benefit One in Every 36 US Children

The NFL has frequently made efforts to give back to society. Notably, the Philadelphia Eagles have been pallbearers for uplifting and empowering underrepresented communities. The Eagles and their praiseworthy efforts for the LGBTQ+ community garnered mixed reactions from the Philly fanbase, but the same is not true for their efforts to support specially gifted children.

Back in 2023, a report by the CDC stated that almost 1 in 36 children in the USA is diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and the Eagles launched an initiative to help garner financial support for these precious ones. Started by the Eagles’ owner Jeffrey Lurie in 2018, the Eagles Autism Foundation is on a mission and the Kelce brothers seem equally invested in the cause.

Kelce Brothers rally behind a noble cause

Since its inception, the Eagles Autism Foundation has been committed to promoting research, advocacy, empathy, and unity for kids diagnosed with Autism. Headlined by the Philadelphia Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie, the initiative continues continued harboring widespread support and even surpassed the charitable donations of the last two years in 2023. With over $6.2 Million in donations, the 2023 Autism Drive could be considered a huge success for the foundation. Also joining the cause was the Eagles’ center Jason Kelce and his brother Travis Kelce.

The two brothers even led their platform, ” New Heights” to the cause, hosting the New Heights Beer Bowl, all in a bid to aid the cause.

Speaking on the support received, Jason Kelce said, “This is the biggest year yet we’ve already raised a significant amount of funds. We’ve already matched the previous two years altogether. I think pretty much It’s a really good start. We can’t wait to get this thing underway. and we want to thank all of the 92 percenters out there who aren’t here who donated I mean, it’s been an outpouring of support. and you guys have no idea how much and how far your dollar goes. so thank you so much.”

While the donation drive was widely successful so was the Beer Bowl hosted by the Kelce brothers and there were truly some iconic moments.

Another successful outing for the Kelces

The New Heights podcast has been the talk of the NFL world lately. Despite playing for rival teams in the NFL, the Kelce brothers have found a way to prioritize camaraderie and a sense of brotherhood, all while having the time of their lives. The recent event hosted by the brothers was no different as contestants of the Beer Bowl were spotted chugging beers, participating in party games, and engaging in direct conversations with Pro Bowlers. Taking on a hurdle as sensitive as ASD, the Kelce brothers made sure to camouflage the seriousness of the matter with light-hearted fun, and judging by the responses, the cause couldn’t ask for better ambassadors.
