<strong>EAGLES</strong> IN THE COMMUNITY<br />
As proud Philadelphians who take their responsibility to the<br />
community seriously, the Eagles believe there is no offseason<br />
to good citizenship. Between the team’s year-round community<br />
efforts and Eagles Charitable Foundation, the Eagles work with a<br />
number of organizations in the Philadelphia region to strengthen<br />
and support a high quality of life for generations of fans because<br />
they believe that strong non-profits build strong communities.<br />
The Eagles host a variety of events and campaigns that aim to<br />
inspire, motivate and educate. As a professional football team, the<br />
Eagles have a unique platform to reach the community and have<br />
long-lasting effects.<br />
The team takes great pride in serving the fans, local non-profits<br />
and the region at large, because to the Eagles, making the<br />
Delaware Valley proud is just as important off the field as it is on it.<br />

NFL Play 60<br />

into a beautiful new space for play and<br />
recreation through this initiative.<br />
Tackling Breast Cancer (TBC)<br />
Eagles players use their day off during<br />
the season to positively impact the region<br />
by visiting local children’s hospitals,<br />
elementary schools, retirement and<br />
environmental centers, food pantries and<br />
more.<br />

kids happy and healthy.<br />

million for breast cancer research. All<br />

Due to the critical and strategic thinking<br />
skills that the game of chess develops,<br />
the Eagles and After-School Activities<br />
Partnership collaborate annually on a<br />
day-long chess tournament for children<br />
at Lincoln Financial Field.<br />

every family and child has the proper food<br />
sources at their disposal.
