PHILADELPHIA — The Eagles Autism Foundation on Wednesday announced it is taking bids on several one-of-a kind items at its annual Gameday Auction, used to raise money for the team's efforts to help fund innovative autism research and care.
From today through November 24, fans can bid on VIP game experience packages, sideline passes, autographed items, and more.
One of the items already drawing interest is a replica 1990s-era Eagles team jacket, recreated by Mitchell & Ness and autographed by Kylie Kelce, wife of legendary Philly offensive lineman (and one of People Magazine's Sexiest Men Alive) Jason Kelce.
"Complete with 'GO BIRDS!' written on the bottom waistband elastic, this item is a recreation of the regal Philadelphia Eagles jacket from the 1990's," the item description reads. "This limited-edition release pays homage to an iconic era in Eagles’ and pop-culture history. The meticulously crafted letterman jacket is a faithful representation of a cherished piece of sports and fashion history."
There are two jackets up for bidding. The top bid for one of the jackets was listed at $1,350 at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday.
If that's a little too rich for your blood, you can pick up a non-autographed version of the iconic fashion item at the Eagles' Pro Shop, starting Thursday, the team said.
The price tag on a non-autographed jacket will likely not be quite as steep, though there's currently no price listing on the Pro Shop website.
If jackets aren't your thing, you can bid on The Ultimate VIP Experience for the Eagles' upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills, a pregame Fan Tunnel Experience, a chance to hold the U.S. flag at a pregame ceremony, pre-game sideline field passes, an authentic autographed Jason Kelce jersey, autographed footballs, autographed helmets, and more.
The Eagles Autism Foundation's goal "is to power scientific breakthroughs that will have a transformational impact on the autism community, not just in Philadelphia but around the world," the team said. "Through research, advocacy, empathy, and unity, the Eagles Autism Foundation is helping to shift from autism awareness to action."
Bidders must be 18 years of age or older, unless otherwise noted. Some items may be bid on only by individuals 21 years of age or older. In addition, winners must comply with all rules and policies of Philadelphia Eagles and Lincoln Financial Field (if applicable).
