Jason Kelce wore USA speedos, danced on the beach, and somehow raised over a million dollars for charity.
No, this isn’t just a dream story. It’s just another day at Shore Birds, the annual fundraiser Kelce and his wife, Kylie, have turned into a Philly summertime tradition.
This weekend, the retired Eagles legend brought the party back to Sea Isle City, near Atlantic City, and called in some big names to help.
Super Bowl champions Cooper DeJean and Landon Dickerson showed up. So did former Eagles lineman Beau Allen and even Big Dom, the team’s beloved security chief. And when it was all said and done, they smashed expectations.
“Because of everyone’s efforts and support we were able to achieve our goal of raising over 1 million dollars for The Eagles Autism Foundation,” Jason wrote on Instagram, adding, “Sea Isle City showed up and showed out.”
Fans Join Kelce’s Party With Purpose
Fans didn’t just donate, they got involved headfirst in the fun. From beach yoga with Kylie to drinking games and floating obstacle courses, the weekend felt like a festival. But it was always about the cause.
Kelce, who has always worn his heart on his sleeve, got emotional while thanking those who made it happen. “The last couple of days were intense, but by far our most successful Shore Birds event to date,” he said in a post filled with photos, laughs, and plenty of sunscreen.
NFL fans wasted no time showering the Kelces with praise. “Over $1M!?!?!? That’s incredible!” one fan posted on Instagram.
Another wrote, “This event is so amazing! The work you guys do and create is fantastic!”
Even Chiefs fans couldn’t help but tip their hats. “Amazing work to all involved,” one commented.
Others simply summed it up in one word: “Legend.”
Kelce may be retired from football, but he’s clearly still winning. Not with touchdowns, this time with heart, sweat, and a whole lot of sunscreen.
