Kylie Kelce successfully raised thousands of dollars for a worthy cause by auctioning an autographed Philadelphia Eagles letterman jacket. The auction ended on Friday, November 24, with the jacket selling for $100,000, making it the highest bid. The second-highest bid was $62,000.
Kylie Kelce, who is married to Eagles center Jason Kelce, sparked a competitive bidding war earlier this month for the coveted Mitchell & Ness-designed jacket, originally priced at $400 and quickly sold out. The auction generated funds for the Eagles Autism Foundation to support innovative autism research and care. The Eagles Instagram account teased the release of the iconic '90s Eagles Letterman Jacket on November 8, featuring Kylie, 31, modeling the jacket and inviting fans to bid on her autographed version to support @eaglesautism.
Kylie’s brother-in-law, Travis Kelce, showed his support in the comments section, writing, “Killin it Ky!!” with two flame emojis.

The auction for the item started on November 8 with an initial bid of $750. Rob McElhenney, a dedicated Eagles fan, bid $10,050 for the jacket, expressing his support on X (formerly known as Twitter), stating, “A great cause and the greatest jacket ever made? Yes please. @JasonKelce @Eagles @eaglesautism.”
During the November 15 episode of Jason and Travis’ “New Heights” podcast, 36-year-old Jason was amazed by the interest in the jacket, mentioning, “It’s up to over $20,000 right now. At one point, Rob McElhenney... had the highest bid at $10,050.”
McElhenney, 46, then urged Jason to revisit the price after placing a $35,000 bid. "You better hit refresh @JasonKelce and @tkelce," he posted on the social media platform. Jason responded, "Dude I'm trying, I think you crashed the site!!"

Just before the auction closed on November 24th, McElhenney was outbid at $50,000, but he remained determined to win the item. "Okay jabroni. I'm getting that jacket," he declared, before increasing his offer to $62,000 as a nod to Jason's jersey number. "Because @eaglesautism is such a wonderful organization, I've raised my bid to represent the best player in the @NFL #FlyEaglesFly."
Kylie and Jason, who got married in April 2018 and have three daughters - Wyatt, 4, Elliotte, 2, and Bennett, 9 months - have been getting more attention lately. This is because Jason and Travis, 34, went head-to-head in the Super Bowl in February and Travis started dating Taylor Swift a few months later. Kylie spoke to Spectrum Sports KC on Sunday, November 19, and mentioned that while she's not a fan of being in the spotlight or in front of a camera, she does appreciate the opportunities it brings for her to give back. The family is still adjusting to the increased scrutiny.
