Jason and Kylie Kelce have turned a summer charity event into something much bigger than a yearly fundraiser. Since Team 62 began in 2021, the event has brought Eagles fans, families and members of the autism community together while creating another major source of support for the Eagles Autism Foundation.The sixth annual Team 62 fundraiser continued that growth in 2026. Held on June 24 in Sea Isle City, the event raised more than $1.26 million in a single night, taking the total raised through the fundraiser since 2021 beyond $3.69 million. What started as a local community event has steadily become one of the most recognizable charitable weekends connected to the Eagles and the Kelce family.
How Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce turned Team 62 into a growing tradition
The success of Team 62 has never depended only on one evening. Jason and Kylie have helped build an entire weekend around the cause, giving people different ways to participate while keeping the focus on the autism community.The 2026 weekend included an all-abilities football clinic, a cheerleading clinic and an Eagles drumline workshop. Families could also take part in beach yoga and other activities in Sea Isle City. The mix of events helped make the weekend more inclusive, allowing people of different abilities and ages to join in rather than making the fundraiser feel like a traditional celebrity charity event.The main fundraiser at Ocean Drive brought together current and former Eagles players, Eagles cheerleaders, mascot SWOOP and members of the Kelce family, including Donna Kelce. Guests could support the cause through tips, raffles, merchandise purchases and other donations.Jason and Kylie later shared their appreciation for everyone who helped make the latest event such a success. “We are beyond thankful for everyone’s support and generosity in setting a Team 62 fundraising record,” they said.The fundraising continued beyond Ocean Drive, too. The fourth annual Beer Bowl at the Sea Isle City Yacht Club, an online auction and entry fees from other community activities all contributed to the weekend’s total. Together, those efforts helped the sixth Team 62 fundraiser raise more than $1.26 million.
How Team 62 became part of the Kelces’ lasting Eagles legacy
Jason Kelce’s connection with Philadelphia has always gone beyond what happened on the football field. He spent his entire NFL career with the Eagles, became one of the most recognizable players in franchise history and remained closely connected with the city following his retirement. Team 62 has given him and Kylie another way to maintain that connection while supporting a cause that reaches far beyond football.The Eagles Autism Foundation has also recognized the role the couple has played in growing the fundraiser. Executive Director Ryan Hammond praised Jason and Kylie as outstanding ambassadors for the foundation, pointing to their passion and creative approach as reasons Team 62 has become such an important annual event.For the Kelces, however, the latest record was never presented as their achievement alone. They credited the Eagles organization, Sea Isle City and the supporters who continue to return each year.“Six years later, we now stand here amazed at what we’ve accomplished for the autism community,” Jason and Kylie said. They also gave a special thank-you to the Eagles organization, the town of Sea Isle City and “the best fans in the world” for continuing to support the cause.With more than $3.69 million raised since 2021, Team 62 has clearly grown beyond its beginnings. The $1.26 million night added another major chapter, but the lasting part of the Kelces’ work may be the community they have created around the fundraiser, giving families a welcoming place to come together while supporting the Eagles Autism Foundation year after year.
