Jon Dorenbos and Ellen have huge surprise for Eagles Autism Challenge ambassador

Share

Former Eagles long snapper and best bud Ellen DeGeneres teamed up to make one Eagles fan's dream come true.

Ben was diagnosed with autism at the age of two and could not speak but worked hard with a speech therapist to the point where he's a big talker today. He currently works two jobs, at Olive Garden and Dorney Park, and brings smiles to customers faces.

Ben is also an ambassador for the Eagles Autism Challenge. He teamed up with Dorenbos on today's Ellen show to pull off one of Jon's famous magic tricks.

During the trick, Dorenbos surprised Ben with passes to Universal Studios as well as field access at any Eagles game of his choosing. Not to mention a generous donation to the Eagles Autism Challenge. You can learn more about that cause here.
