A nonprofit helped a Levittown family enjoy Philadelphia Eagles training camp recently.
Falls Township residents Chase Sysol, 10, his brother Jason Slaven, 20, got to enjoy a day at training camp in Philadelphia and meet the team with their family thanks to New Jersey-based Bianca’s Kids, a group that works to make wishes possible for youngsters in need.

Chase suffers from numerous conditions that have caused developmental delays and other issues, but one thing that it hasn’t stopped is his love of the Eagles. His brother, Jason, deals with liver issues, primary sclerosing cholangitis, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome, and Crohn’s disease and is also a big fan of the birds, their mom Mary Sysol told LevittownNow.com.
Through Bianca’s Kids, the boys, their brothers, and dad got tickets recently to head down to training camp. Once they arrived, they were treated to a meal, learned a bit about the team, and got to meet the players, including Carson Wentz. Chase even had the chance to wear a Super Bowl championship ring that belonged to sportscaster Howard Eskin.
“I was so happy for them. There were no doctor’s appointments and they just got to see and enjoy,” Mary Sysol said.

‘They were so happy,” she said.

Mary Sysol said she felt the Eagles were complete class acts and went above and beyond to accommodate the family, which has their own Facebook page filled with updates.
