Daily News | How the Eagles Autism Foundation gave this volunteer Super Bowl tickets alongside ‘a sense of purpose’
A few days before Christmas, Ryan Lloyd received a call that took him by surprise. Ryan Hammond, the executive director of the Eagles Autism Foundation, told Lloyd, an active volunteer, that he would be the recipient of two tickets to the Eagles’ Week 17 game against the Saints.During the game, Lloyd and his father, who are both longtime fans, spending most Sundays watching the Eagles on television, had field passes.
When he went off to college at Hawk Hill, Lloyd met Hammond, who was the executive director for the Kinney Center, a service and education organization at St. Joe’s that provides support for individuals with an autism spectrum disorder. During his senior year of college, he joined the foundation. His favorite experience is participating in the Eagles Autism Challenge, which includes a bike ride and 5K run-walk that begins and ends at Lincoln Financial Field. All the proceeds go towards autism research and support programs.
