Philadelphia Eagle Graham, Rita's Creating Special Italian Ice

BENSALEM TOWNSHIP, PA —Philadelphia Eagle Brandon Graham is teaming up with Rita's Tuesday to create a special Italian Ice flavor with lucky fans for the team's autism foundation.

The legendary Eagles defensive lineman —who set the team record for most games played in franchise history on Sunday —will join Rita’s Italian Ice and Frozen Custard to help treat a Philadelphia-area family to an afternoon at Rita’s Headquarters.

Together, Rita’s and Eagles Autism Foundation will host a special Rita’s flavor experience where Graham and the Hanna family will create a one-of-a-kind Italian Ice flavor never before seen or tasted by customers. (The flavor will not be sold at Rita’s locations.)

The event will include Graham and the Hanna family taste-testing Rita’s flavor combinations in the headquarters’ test kitchen and creating a customized flavor to reveal that afternoon to Rita’s CEO Linda Chadwick and Eagles Autism Foundation Executive Director Ryan Hammond.

The experience is brought to the Hanna family through the Eagles Autism Foundation, where the Hanna family donated to the Foundation by bidding on the sweet experience during the 2023 Eagles Autism Challenge.

The event is not open to the public.
