Exciting Draft Party for a Great Cause

Chickie’s & Pete’s is thrilled to announce the inaugural 2026 Draft Party, set to take place on April 23 at 8:00 PM at its South Philly location.

From delicious food and drink specials to exhilarating raffles and the highly anticipated EAF Yard Sale, attendees will have plenty to enjoy as they watch the Draft unfold right before their eyes.

What makes the night even more special is Chickie's & Pete's commitment to giving back. A portion of all food sales made during the first round of the Draft—from 8:00 PM to 12:00 AM—will be donated to the Eagles Autism Foundation. Attendees can indulge in their favorite dishes while knowing they are making a positive impact on the lives of individuals and families affected by autism.

Everyone is encouraged to invite their friends and family to join in the festivities. The best part? Admission is free, with no ticket required, making it accessible for all who want to participate.

Chickie's & Pete's has a rich history in the heart of Philadelphia's restaurant scene.

Dedicated to family values and sports, Chickie's & Pete's strives to create an atmosphere where fans can bond over their love of the game while enjoying top-notch food and service.

The Eagles Autism Foundation is a vital organization dedicated to supporting individuals with autism and their families.
