Go inside the effort to make NFL stadiums more autism-friendly
“By creating the support of those with autism from the heroes in our society, it (legitimizes) schools, hospitals, communities to embrace children and adults with autism in a way that’s just been long overdue,” Eagles owner Jeffrey Lurie told TODAY. “Let’s treat these kids with dignity and realize what they’re going through and be part of the solution and not part of the problem.”

Why the Eagles Are Committed to Autism Awareness, and How the Team Is Taking Action
“This is bigger than me, the Philadelphia Eagles or our city. We must collectively work together to shift from autism awareness to action. This will require bold research initiatives whose results can be shared both nationally and globally. It’s an ambitious endeavor, and it will take the very best scientific minds to make the transformational impact we seek.”
Now more than ever, the autism community needs our support and we remain committed to funding the most innovative research and care. That's why we're so excited to announce that the third annual Eagles Autism Challenge has been rescheduled to Sept. 26, 2020!
