Jason Kelce put his bartending skills on display at the Ocean Drive bar in Sea Isle City, New Jersey last week.
It's something that he has been doing every summer over the last four years in order to raise awareness and funds for the Eagles Autism Foundation, which was founded by his wife Kylie Kelce.
Last year, Kelce and the gang raised nearly $500,000, including $150,000 before the bar had even opened.
This year, however, they nearly doubled that number, raising over $865,000.
Kylie Kelce took to Instagram to shout out Eagles fans and announce the date for next year's bartending festivities.
Year 4 numbers are in…. In just 2 days you helped raise $865,000 and counting!!!The enthusiasm and generosity around this event never ceases to amazing me. People can say what they want about Philly and Eagles fans, but it’s things like this that make it clear why weare so proud to be apart of this community. We might throw snowballs at Santa, but we’ll also throw money across a bar and chug some beers to support people with Autism!
This would not have been possible without the support of the generous people that attended, the tremendous guest bartenders, our incredible sponsors, the city of Sea Isle (including SICPD), the @philadelphiaeagles and @eaglesautism , the @newheightshow team, the Yacht club of Sea Isle, and of course, @theoceandrive .
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Pencil us in for Year 5 on 6/25?
Jason Kelce Shares His Reaction to Raising Over $800K on New Heights Podcast
Jason shared his reaction to number raised on the latest New Heights episode where he also gave a sweet shout-out to his wife and the Eagles for their involvement.
"That’s pretty incredible and it’s our biggest number by far yet," Jason said. "And it’s still counting I believe… The Eagles Autism Foundation is an incredible foundation that does a lot of work in the autism community, whether it’s towards funding research, programs for families and support systems, as well as avenues for careers for people on the spectrum. They do a whole lot of things supporting the entire autism community and awareness."
“It’s an honor for us to participate in it. It’s been something that’s near and dear to Kylie’s heart for her whole life. And since meeting her and being involved in the community, it’s now near and dear to my heart. So it’s something that’s been awesome to be a part of. And the fact that the Eagles started there own part of that…It’s been awesome to partner with them and take it to this level.”
Kelce officially retired from the Eagles earlier this year but made it clear that he's not done supporting the team or community and they're not done having his back either, nor will they ever be.
Kylie Kelce Has Become Just as Famous as Her Husband
Kylie Kelce has become loved just as much as her husband by Eagles fans, so much so that she was asked to sign his jersey during the bartending event.
Her reaction was priceless .
"You want me to sign this," Kylie questioned the fan. "It's gonna ruin it!"
Little does she know that the value of that jersey just went up because of her signature.
