SEA ISLE CITY, N. J. (CBS) — Jason Kelce and some former teammates swapped their football attire for beachwear Wednesday in Sea Isle City to serve as celebrity bartenders and gain advantages from the Eagles Autism Foundation for the fourth straight year.
Fans filled Ocean Drive with their green Eagles and went wild when Kelce announced. He came out dressed in a green and white Eagles wrestler mask before pouring drinks, signing autographs and posing for pictures with fans.
Kelce joined through former Eagles Beau Allen, Trent Cole and Fletcher Cox, as well as existing players Brandon Graham, Dallas Goedert, Landon Dickerson, Jake Elliott and Avonte Maddox.
Even Dom DiSandro, aka “Big Dom,” was there to lend a hand at the bar.
Kelce said that while you may not see him in the Birds box this year, he’s still grateful to be able to be a part of the community.
“The enthusiasts that are here are one of the main reasons I’ve had a glorious career,” Kelce said. “They supported me for a long time. They supported my teammates. . . the city of Philadelphia, all the enthusiasts who are here today, it’s a wonderful opportunity for everyone to have a smart time together and do anything for a glorious cause. ”
Wednesday’s event is part of two days of laughter and laughter on Sea Isle. Thursday is the second annual New Heights Beer Bowl event from 10 a. m. to 10 a. m. m. a 4 p. m. at the Sea Isle City Yacht Club. People who donate $25 or more will be entered into a drawing to attend a podcast recording with the Kelce brothers as guests.
If you can’t make it to Jersey Shore, you can donate to the Team 62 fundraising page bidding on exclusive items, which will be open until five p. m. on Friday.
Since 2021, it has raised more than $630,000.
Kelce retired in March after thirteen seasons with the Eagles and accepted a spot on ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown” in May.
