Jason Kelce donates $8,000 to leukemia-stricken Eagles fan as fundraiser nears $150,000 goal

Earlier this year, a Bucks County Eagles fan facing a devastating health battle received a major show of support from Jason Kelce. Tom Trampe, known to many fans as “Chomp,” had gone viral years ago for his passion for the Philadelphia Eagles. After being diagnosed with leukemia and undergoing emergency brain surgery, Trampe and his family faced a difficult road ahead. A community fundraiser has since drawn widespread support, including an $8,000 contribution from Kelce.Jason Kelce donates $8,000 to Tom Trampe’s fundraiserTrampe became a familiar face among Eagles fans after a viral video captured his determination to suit up for Philadelphia. Years later, his fight is no longer about stepping onto an NFL field. He is now focused on recovering from a serious illness that has placed enormous pressure on his family.According to the Bucks County report, Trampe was diagnosed with leukemia and later required emergency brain surgery. Doctors reportedly warned that his chances of survival were low, but his recovery has continued to defy those early expectations.Kenneth and Kate Coffman of Warminster launched a GoFundMe campaign to help Trampe’s family manage the financial strain surrounding his treatment. The fundraiser had collected more than $128,000 toward its $150,000 target when the report was published.Among the donations was an $8,000 gift from former Eagles star Jason Kelce, who has remained closely connected to the Philadelphia sports community since retiring from the NFL.The Coffmans explained the purpose behind the fundraiser, saying, “This fundraiser is to help relieve some of that financial burden so the family can focus fully on what matters most: Tom’s recovery and precious time together as a family,”They added, “Every donation—no matter the amount—will go directly towards medical expenses, household bills, and helping keep stability for their young children during this incredibly difficult season.”Bucks County community rallies around Eagles fanThe support for Trampe has extended beyond individual donations. Warwick Farm Brewery is also contributing to the cause through its new beer, “2 Year Varsity.”For every pint and four-pack purchased, the brewery is donating $2 to Trampe’s family. The effort gives local residents another way to help while supporting a family dealing with medical and financial uncertainty.The fundraiser also reflects the strong connection between Trampe and the Eagles community. His original viral moment made him recognizable to football fans, but his current battle has brought that community together for a much more personal reason.With the campaign working toward its $150,000 goal, contributions from Kelce and others are helping provide practical support at a time when Trampe’s family can focus on his recovery and spending time together.Stay updated with the latest Asian Games 2026 news, check the Asian Games medal tally and complete Asian Games schedule.Get the latest Sports News and Live updates.
