Torrents of rain pounded the pavement all across Philadelphia, but it didn’t stop more than 3,300 people from running and riding to raise money for research in the inaugural Eagles Autism Challenge in May.
The event raised more than $2.5 million for a trio of organizations that conduct autism research including the A.J. Drexel Autism Institute.
“I’m so grateful to the Eagles for their leadership, and to all the members of the Drexel community who helped make this event such a success,” says President John Fry. “With new resources made available through the Eagles Autism Challenge, the A.J. Drexel Autism Institute will be able to enhance its research efforts and work even harder to smooth the path for those with autism.”
