We created a team to participate in the challenge both in 2018 and 2019. Our team this year consisted of 21 people, a mixture of our staff, friends, and family, who rode along with the other participants on the 15-mile bike ride. After riding in the rain last year, we were lucky enough to get a sunny day for this year\u2019s event. We raised $11,450.00 for the cause and utilized our social media accounts to spread awareness leading up to the event.<\/p>\n<p>The event as a whole in 2019 had 3,645 participants and raised a total of $3,512,010. Combined with the funds raised in 2018, the Eagles Autism Challenge has raised a total of $6,063,233, donated to the autism research efforts at the Children\u2019s Hospital of Philadelphia, Drexel University, and Jefferson Health.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about the Eagles Autism Challenge, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eaglesautismchallenge.org\">www.eaglesautismchallenge.org<\/a>.
