In response to the devastation caused by the wildfires which have displaced so many across southern California, the Philadelphia Eagles will contribute $500,000 to @calfund as a way to help deliver essential resources to those impacted by the wildfires. The California Community Foundation’s disaster and recovery efforts support an array of critical recovery services, including housing, case management, mental health, and medical care for displaced residents.

"Our hearts are with everyone who has been suffering from the destruction caused by the wildfires in the Greater Los Angeles area. We are grateful for the heroic efforts of the first responders who have bravely stepped up to protect those affected. Their courage and sacrifice during this critical time of need is inspiring. We recognize the lasting effects a natural disaster can have on a community, and we are compelled to join the recovery efforts. The victims, first responders, and all who have been affected will continue to be on our minds and in our hearts." - Jeffrey Lurie, Chairman and CEO, Philadelphia Eagles

In addition to the monetary donation, the Eagles are taking the following steps to offer even further relief support for the Los Angeles community:

@eaglesautism Foundation 50/50 Raffle: Each Eagles game at Lincoln Financial Field presents an opportunity for fans to purchase tickets to win half the 50/50 raffle earnings. Proceeds from each raffle support the Eagles Autism Foundation. For individuals on the autism spectrum, being displaced by fire can present unique challenges and tremendous stress in their lives. The Eagles Autism Foundation will donate 100% of the Foundation’s proceeds from Sunday’s 50/50 raffle to the @RedCross in support of California wildfire relief.

2/ Jordan Mailata was born on March 31st, 1997 in Bankstown, Australia. He grew up playing rugby league for the Bankstown Bulls and was selected for the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs’ Under 18s team in 2015.

3/ However, before he could play his first regular-season game for the Bulldogs, he fainted during a training session and was diagnosed with a heart condition that required surgery. He had to take a year off from rugby and gained almost 50 lbs.
