Jason Kelce is poking fun at himself after lending his time to a good cause. The 36-year-old NFL star showed his support for the Eagles Autism Foundation at the 16th Annual Mike’s Seafood 5K Run/Walk for Autism in New Jersey on Saturday.
According to Bleacher Report, Kelce finished the race in just over 43 minutes. After completing the 5K, Kelce took to social media to reflect on the charitable event. When Fox Sports 5 shared a video of Kelce on X, the news station wrote, “Jason Kelce ran a 5K to raise money for autism.” The Philadelphia Eagles star quoted the original post and wrote, “‘Ran’ ” is a generous verb for what occurred,” poking fun at himself for mostly walking briskly during the 5K.
“But we had a blast,” Kelce added to his post on X. Jason and his wife, Kylie Kelce, have been longtime supporters of the Eagles Autism Foundation. In June, Jason was joined by his brother Travis Kelce at an event that raised $100,000 for the charity, according to the New York Post. Jason contributed $50,000 to the cause at the time, the outlet reported.
And in November, Kylie, 31, modeled a kelly green Eagles varsity jacket, which has regal connections, that ended up being sold for $100,000 in an auction benefiting the Eagles Autism Foundation, according to the Philly Voice.
McElhenney, 46, appeared on an episode of the New Heights with Jason and Travis Kelce podcast at the time to discuss his hardships with being continually outbid on the limited edition autographed jacket by his wife. “I couldn’t believe that someone was immediately jumping on every time I bid, and so my final bid was going to be representing my favorite player on the Eagles, 62. [$62,000], I thought that was a good number,” McElhenney told the Kelce brothers.
“And then I got a text from somebody I know who said, ‘I’ve been the one bidding against you, bozo.’ And it did not even cross my mind that this was a possibility, and it turned out I live with this person,” he continued, referring to his wife and It’s Always Sunny costar.
