Kylie Kelce proves motherhood won't stop her from making a heartfelt impact on the Eagles community
Kylie Kelce continues to inspire with her emotional involvement in the Eagles family despite motherhood duties (Credit: Getty Images) Jason Kelce may have hung up his cleats, but his influence in Philadelphia continues to soar—this time beyond the stadium. Retirement has not slowed down the former Eagles center; instead, it's opened the door for him and his wife Kylie to lean even deeper into their shared mission: advancing autism awareness and inclusion. Even as a mom, Kylie Kelce makes time to show up big for the Eagles in touching ways For Kylie Kelce, this mission is personal. Her advocacy began in childhood thanks to her neighbor Tim, who gave her a firsthand understanding of autism's richness and complexity. That early bond shaped a lifelong commitment, one she now channels through her work with the Eagles Autism Foundation (EAF). Using her voice and visibility, Kylie has become a powerful force behind the foundation's efforts to break stigmas and spark conversations. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Device Made My Power Bill Drop Overnight elecTrick - Save upto 80% on Power Bill Pre-Order Undo 'The EAF encourages the conversation because the unknown keeps people away,' Kylie has said. 'If you shy away from the autism community you are missing out on some of the best human beings you will ever come in contact with in your life. Spending time with them always helps me appreciate the high points in life.' Her words, spoken with heartfelt clarity, resonated deeply during the recent Eagles Autism Symposium, where she addressed a room full of advocates, families, and supporters. The moment was captured by the Jason & Travis Kelce Fan Page, and according to attendee Melissa Hall, it was nothing short of "inspiring." While Kylie inspired through her words, Jason led with action. No longer donning shoulder pads and cleats, he stepped into his new role in the community—this time with a bike helmet and a cause. During the Eagles Autism Challenge, Jason joined fans and teammates for a 10-mile ride across Philadelphia, offering more than just his presence. Smiling, signing autographs, and sharing laughs, he brought his signature energy to an event that means much more than a morning workout. 'Jason Kelce sighting (and signing!) at this morning Eagles Autism Run/Walk - The 10-mile bike ride is about to kick off,' wrote Christopher Babos on X, capturing the electric moment that blended celebrity with sincere purpose. But beyond the public appearances and speeches lies the heart of the mission: funding. The Eagles Autism Challenge plays a crucial role in raising money for scientific research and essential community programs for individuals on the autism spectrum. The Kelces' involvement isn't about appearances—it's about commitment, compassion, and continuing impact. In their next chapter, Jason and Kylie Kelce aren't just redefining what post-NFL life looks like—they're shaping a more inclusive and understanding world, one ride and one story at a time.

Family in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, hopeful for breakthrough research funded by Eagles Autism Foundation
Research supported by the Eagles Autism Foundation is focused on a girl in Montgomery County with the hopes of eventually finding new treatments for autism. Four-year-old Fiona Vanderhoof, who enjoys her trampoline in Norristown, has faced many challenges; she was diagnosed with a severe form of autism. "A genetic test confirmed she has Dup15q syndrome, which is caused by an extra piece of a chromosome," said mom Jackie Vanderhoof. Fiona Vanderhoof is developmentally delayed and mostly nonverbal. "It's tough, it's devastating. ... It didn't ruin our lives. We love Fiona, she is the light of our lives," said Jackie Vanderhoof. "She is an absolute beacon of hope for us." A lot of that hope comes from this research at the University of Connecticut. Using blood cells from Fiona Vanderhoof, autism researcher Dr. Eric Levine is using groundbreaking new technology to reprogram them into neurons that mirror her brain cells. That allows him to explore possible causes of autism and find better treatments. "So the cells can be used for discovering what's wrong and also as a screen for seeing what drugs or other medicines might be effective at reversing it," said Levine. Levine's research is partially funded by the Philadelphia Eagles Autism Foundation. "The stuff that they do is incredible," said Jackie Vanderhoof. "I'm just so appreciative of what the Eagles Autism Foundation has done." "To potentially change the trajectory of their lives collectively is just really special," said Ryan Hammond, executive director of the Eagles Autism Foundation. "Jeffrey Lurie founded the Eagles Autism Foundation not only to drive millions of dollars to fund research, but more importantly, to bring a community together," Hammond said. It's providing new hope for this family, which is forever grateful to their favorite team. The Eagles Autism Challenge is coming up on May 17. It's a one-day bike ride and 5K to raise awareness and money.
