"There are so many characteristics that set Philadelphia apart," said Ryan Hammond, Executive Director, Eagles Autism Foundation. "We know how much this City loves its sports teams, but it is also the rich history, cultural diversity, and inclusiveness that make Philadelphia truly unique. We are excited to celebrate the intersection of Eagles football and Philly's vibrant art scene with this new exhibit. This will serve as a great opportunity to honor our team's history, showcase the talented artists in our community, and raise important funds for autism research and care programs."
