The stolen Jalen Hurts photograph, worth around $500, was helping to raise thousands of dollars for various ALS organizations.
An ALS charity event was cut short after the grand prize, a signed and framed Jalen Hurts photograph, was stolen Saturday night in Philadelphia."In Philadelphia, we had the largest crawl in the nation where we raised over $10,000," said Larry Kaplan, who worked as a volunteer for the event.
"Security did see the girl leave the venue with the piece. She said that she had won it. We weren't going to draw the winner until 10-11 o clock that night. She got into either an Uber or Lyft at the corner of the venue," said Kaplan. "The patients and the families are devastated someone would steal from a charity. I have no idea how much we lost for the organizations. Because we couldn't sell more raffle tickets.
The money helped raise funds for ALS Hope Foundation at Temple Hospital, Hope Loves Company, which provides free support and camps children of parents with ALS, and Team Gleason, the organization started by ex-NFL player, Steve Gleason who has ALS.
