Fly, Abby Care, Fly: Abby Care Officially Partners with the 2026 Eagles Autism Challenge
Put on your midnight green, because we have some absolutely thrilling news to share! Abby Care is officially a supporting sponsor of this year’s Eagles Autism Challenge. In case you’re new here, Abby Care empowers family caregivers in Philadelphia to become trained, supported, and paid, and our model is built to ensure that people with complex medical needs receive consistent care from someone they know and love. Currently, we serve over 1800 families affected by autism across the United States.
We know that no one understands an individual with complex needs or a neurodiverse child better than their own family. That is why our model is built around providing the resources, support, and specialized pediatric home care infrastructure that families need to provide expert care right in the comfort of their own homes.
Our mission has always been to elevate the families we serve. So, when the opportunity arose to partner with the Eagles Autism Foundation, the charity arm of our beloved Philadelphia Eagles, we knew we had to jump in.
Here is a look at why we are so passionate about this partnership and what it means for family caregivers across the Greater Philadelphia area.
More Than a Game: Championing the Autism Community
In Philly, the Eagles are the heartbeat of the city. But the organization’s impact off the field, driven by the Eagles Autism Foundation, is what truly changes lives.
The foundation is dedicated to turning autism awareness into actionable change. By funding innovative research and community care programs, they are improving the lives of individuals with autism and, just as importantly, the families who support them right here in our backyards.
Their commitment to pushing for progress, inclusion, and family-centered support is exactly what we strive for every single day at Abby Care. Partnering with the Eagles Autism Foundation will allow us to amplify Abby Care’s mission and put our core values into action on a broader scale.
What This Sponsorship Means for You
The family caregiving sector is expanding rapidly and in 2024, reached a high of 59 million caregivers providing 49.5 billion hours of care. As the sector grows, we want to ensure that family caregivers are aware of the resources and support available to them. This sponsorship can serve as a beacon for families seeking a better way to manage their loved one's care. Here is what this partnership represents:
1. Elevating the Role of the Family Caregiver
Caregiving is a labor of love, but it can also be overwhelming. By standing alongside the Eagles Autism Foundation, we want to show the community that Abby Care recognizes, validates, and supports the critical work that family caregivers do. We seek to empower family caregivers by helping them access programs they qualify for and by providing them with clinical supervision, technology, and community.
2. Expanding Access to Specialized Support
We want every family in the region to know that when they need expert guidance, compensation programs, or compassionate home health infrastructure, Abby Care is a phone call away. This sponsorship allows us to reach a broader audience, ensuring more caregivers know they aren't alone and that high-quality, specialized help is available.
3. Turning Awareness into Actionable Care
Just like the Eagles Autism Challenge looks to turn awareness into breakthrough research, Abby Care is here to turn the need for support into tangible, high-quality home health services. We are dedicated to providing the daily resources that help both neurodiverse individuals and their dedicated family caregivers thrive together.
