15-year-old Eagles superfan Max Hershman is going to the Super Bowl to proudly represent the Eagles Autism Foundation!
In 2018, the Philadelphia Eagles took home their first Lombardi Trophy. Later that year, the inaugural Eagles Autism Challenge was launched. And by 2019, the Eagles Autism Foundation was formally established.
One of their major accomplishments was establishing a sensory room in Lincoln Financial Field in partnership with Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and Kulture City, a nonprofit that specializes in sensory modifications at similar venues. The space is outfitted with interactive items that can help people take a break from the noise and keep calm without having to leave the stadium.
15-year-old Max Hershman knows this well. The teen from Media, Pennsylvania, has worked with the Eagles Autism Foundation in the past as the host of a digital show, "Sensory Saturdays with Max." He is also a superfan of the Eagles and a strong advocate for inclusivity. "I'm going to be like a helper for when people are down or sad or any bad emotion," he said. "I just give them a toy so that can help them feel better."
