Jason Kelce, who fully embraced Philadelphia sporting culture a long time ago, did a guest bartending gig down at Ocean Drive in Sea Isle City on Wednesday evening. The charity event raised money for the Eagles Autism Foundation.

Mike Kaye at NJ.com:

The event raised $50,000 total, and Kelce matched that amount for an overall donation of $100,000, according to an Eagles spokesperson.

“We’ve been invested in (the foundation) for a while,” Kelce said. “The fact that it could all come full circle, and the Eagles really made a push for it, and now we’re at this point, it’s awesome.”

Very nice. Kelce is a good dude, isn’t he? Talk about a guy who “gets it.” He’s probably going on the Mount Rushmore of guys who “get it.” An elite group of Philadelphia athletes who really embraced this region and assimilated despite not being from here.
