Thank you to Allstate Foundation for their $45,500 donation to the Boys
& Girls Clubs of Philadelphia. As part of the 2nd Annual "Good
Hands" Donation Program, the Allstate Foundation pledged $100 for
each pass hauled in by Eagles receivers during regular and post-season
play. The final tally: 435 catches for $43,500. The Allstate
Foundation hosted a check presentation with Philadelphia Eagles Tight
End Brent Celek at the Fairmount Unit. Club members were able to catch
cheesesteaks for additional donations, which increased the check to
over $45,000. Thanks Allstate!
