Gilbert, Arizona | June 2025
Philadelphia Eagles rookie defensive lineman Ty Robinson has made headlines off the field with a stunning act of generosity, donating a remarkable $3.4 million to fund the construction of a charity home in his hometown of Gilbert, Arizona.
The 24-year-old NFL player, who was drafted by the Eagles earlier this year, has remained deeply connected to his Arizona roots. Growing up in Gilbert, Robinson has often spoken about his love for the community that raised him. This donation, his largest charitable contribution to date, will go toward building a new housing facility for underprivileged families and foster children.
The planned facility, which will be named “The Robinson Home of Hope,” is expected to provide shelter, mentorship programs, educational support, and healthcare services for struggling families in the East Valley area of Arizona.
In a brief statement released through his representatives, Robinson said:
“I’ve been blessed with an incredible opportunity in life, and I feel a responsibility to give back to the community that helped raise me. This home isn’t just about providing shelter—it’s about giving hope, structure, and a future to kids and families who deserve it.”
The groundbreaking ceremony for the project is expected to take place later this summer, with construction aiming to be completed by mid-2026.
Teammates, coaches, and fans across the NFL have praised Robinson for his leadership and compassion, especially as a young player just beginning his professional career. Eagles head coach Nick Sirianni called the gesture “an inspiring example of what it means to be a leader both on and off the field.”
As Ty Robinson prepares for his rookie NFL season, his actions off the gridiron are already leaving a legacy that will last far beyond his football career.
This is a developing story.
