A MESSAGE FROM Ben

I was diagnosed with Autism when I was 2 and Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) has been such an important part of helping me learn and grow. I love to help other people understand Autism and want to help raise money and give back so they can help others. The Eagles have been so supportive and this challenge will raise awareness of Autism.

 See my story aired on Inside the Eagles at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vFGyFBGk-I

If you would like to know more about my story please visit my web site at  https://benergy1.wordpress.com/

On May 18, 2019 I will join the entire Philadelphia Eagles organization and thousands of Philadelphia area residents who will ride, run or walk to raise funds for innovative research and programs to help unlock the mystery of autism. 100% of participant-raised funds will go directly towards autism research and programs at a coalition of leading institutions including Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Drexel University and Thomas Jefferson University and Jefferson Health. I need your support to reach my goal and assist those currently affected as well as future generations. Thank you!

On 4/4/19 our students again donated $1 to wear their Eagles colors and staff donated $5 for jeans and Eagles wear to celebrate Ben’s assembly!

    We watched you on the Ellen show. You're an incredible young man. We wanted to give toward the Eagles charity for Autism research. A few summers ago, you helped me carry in a heavy printer. When we offered you money you would not take it, you said "I just like helping people". What a beautiful way to look at life. Good luck in all your future endeavors.

    Ben- Do you remember when you were in Vocal Ensemble singing, "Choose to Bless the World" by Nick Page? I love watching you put this song into action. As Nick Page wrote, “We all make choices; we can choose to be complacent or we can choose to be involved. Rev. Parker’s words urge us to live with a moral purpose- to choose to bless the world." Thank you for choosing to bless the world.
