Philadelphia Eagles star center Jason Kelce visited the Jersey Shore to join hundreds of walkers and runners this weekend to raise money for autism.
Kelce was photographed at the 16th annual Mike’s Seafood Run Walk for Autism in Sea Isle City on Saturday. The multi-pro-bowler was seen in sweatpants and a brown shirt, walking with the crowd on the city’s promenade along the beach while onlookers snapped photos.
The yearly event raises money for families of children with special needs, as well as support groups. Its organizers didn’t say how much money this year’s event raised.
Kelce isn’t a stranger to Sea Isle City. He owns property there and has for the past three summers taken teammates to Ocean Drive Bar & Restaurant, serving as a guest bartender to raise funds for the Eagles Autism Foundation.
Kelce is regarded as one of the NFL’s best centers and is among the longest-tenured players on the Eagles’ roster.
