Each Jalen Hurts TD scored during the Eagles season now has added significance

Ask any Philadelphia Eagles fan and they'll certainly tell you. Not many occurrences get the adrenaline flowing like a Birds TD. Now, as if we needed any more of a reason to pull for Philly to cross the goal line, QB1's recent announcement has us hoping they light up the scoreboard.

Jalen Hurts has undertaken another charitable venture. If you aren't a Birds fan, his foundation may make you switch allegiances.

Jalen Hurts pledges $5K for each TD he scores during the Eagles season.

Shortly, before kickoff of the Eagles' Week 1 game versus the Green Bay Packers, he announced, via his Jalen Hurts Foundation, that he's making an honorable pledge.

In May, he donated $200,00 to Philadelphia area schools to supply new air conditioners, but there's still work to be done. Nearly 100 schools are remaining that are without air conditioners.

So, QB1 is taking up the mantle. Each time he scores a touchdown, he will donate $5K to supply those schools with one.

Here's more via his foundation's website:

"The Jalen Hurts Foundation continues its Keep It Cool Initiative by launching a season-long TDs for ACs campaign. In the 2024-25 season, the foundation will donate $5,000 per Jalen Hurts touchdown to improve air conditioning at ten additional Philadelphia schools.

With almost 100 schools and 50,000 students still lacking proper cooling, your support is vital. Fans can contribute to the Keep It Cool Initiative by making a one-time or monthly tax-deductible donation.Together, we can create a better learning environment and help students thrive despite extreme heat."

Jalen has an opportunity to make history during the regular-season opener. He can also improve the quality of life for those in need. That sounds like a winning combination to us.

We don't need another reason to cheer for the Birds. That's a given, but again, this kind of makes us hope they light up the stat sheets and scoreboards.
