Exact/specific details of the donation/plans aren’t public yet, but the initial intentions are to make it a hub for research and care for autism.
Lurie has been involved in the autism causes for quite some time, including the Eagles Autism Challenge and 5K that began under his tenure as well as a sensory room that was created and has been updated within Lincoln Financial Field itself.
