Christina
Weiss Lurie, co-owner of the Philadelphia Eagles with her husband, Jeffrey
Lurie, was at CHOP last week to present a $2.5 million gift to The Center for
Autism Research (CAR), on behalf of the Lurie Family Foundation. The donation
will support two lines of research to improve autism diagnosis and treatment
using genetic and brain imaging research.
Swoop,
the Eagles mascot, along with the Eagles Cheerleaders were in attendance at the
event, spending time with CHOP patients
and families participating in CAR research and helping them with an
Eagles-themed art project.
