Community Monday: Eagles Visit Wissahickon High School
The Eagles and United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey hosted a pep rally and relay race for students at Wissahickon High School on Monday to advocate healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle...

The Eagles were happy to donate $10,000 to the Wissahickon High School athletic department as part of the annual Hometown Huddle initiative

The mission today was to encourage healthy lifestyles for children and specifically raise awareness about the conditions that lead to sudden cardiac arrest in young people

Since 1999, NFL teams have participated in a variety of hands-on community service projects, known collectively as Hometown Huddle

Holly Hubbard, community relations coordinator for the Eagles, was there answering questions about the initiative

Pilar and Alycia were representing Eagles Cheer at the event today

CB Bradley Fletcher was there to educate the students on living a healthy lifestyle

Eagles community relations coordinator, Holly Hubbard, added how the initiative is designed to tackle childhood obesity, and that NFL PLAY 60 brings together the NFL's long-standing commitment to health and fitness with partner organizations like United Way

CB Bradley Fletcher talked about how building a strong foundation of nutrition for your body was similar to building a strong foundation out of concrete for a house

Darren Sudman of Simon's Fund discussed all of the ways that you can be more aware of heart issues and problems before they happen

The Eagles proudly donated an additional $5,000 to a heart screening that Simon's Fund will host at Wissahickon High School on Sunday, October 26 that all children are encouraged to participate in

Students participated in relay races to educate everyone on how to properly react to sudden cardiac issues
