Keep It Cool: Jalen Hurts Foundation raises more than $100,000 to improve cooling in Philadelphia schools

Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts gave fans a reason to cheer a little harder when he scored a touchdown this season.

Every time Hurts scores a touchdown this season, his foundation has donated $5,000 to his Keep It Cool initiative that provides air conditioning in Philadelphia public schools.

With 22 touchdowns over the season, including two against the Dallas Cowboys, the initiative exceeded the $100,000 mark eight weeks before the end of the regular season.

Ten Schools in the Philadelphia School District Last year, the facility received new air conditioners and upgrades that helped more than 5,000 students and staff beat the summer heat.

More than 60 Philadelphia public schools were forced to send their students home just days into the new school year due to inadequate building cooling.

The foundation will attempt to reduce that number by providing a minimum additional donation of $200,000 to bring cooling improvements to more Philadelphia schools.
