Jason Kelce is ready to use his beer-drinking skills for a good cause.

The 38-year-old former Eagles center kicked off the festivities for his annual Eagles Autism Foundation Fundraiser in New Jersey on Wednesday, June 24, where he promises attendees he's going to "make sure I give them as fun of a time as I can" during the multi-day event.

"Eagles Autism Foundation has done a fantastic job since its inception in Philadelphia and the Eagles organization has raised a ton of money for research, advocacy, programs and support for families, and really just awareness for autism," Kelce tells PEOPLE during his bartending session at the Ocean Drive restaurant in Sea Isle, N.J.

According to Jason, he and his wife, Kylie Kelce, take their four daughters, Wyatt, Elliotte, Bennett and Finley to the charming beachside town "all the time."

"We bring the girls down, we have a house here, we come down to Sea Isle all the time, as much as we can," says Kelce, calling it "a great island" that's "driven with a strong community."

"A lot of families are down here, kids are all over the place, everybody’s off of school, so everybody’s just enjoying the summer break," Kelce continues. "It's got great energy and a good spirit to it."

Kelce tells PEOPLE that "on top of" the Eagles Autism Foundation being "an easy cause to get behind" for multiple reasons, the annual fundraiser, also attended by the former NFL star's mom Donna Kelce, is "just a fun day."

"Everybody here’s looking for a good time and I'm gonna make sure I give them as fun a time as I can," says the father of four known for being the life of any party.

On Thursday, June 25, Kelce and others will compete in the Beer Bowl, where they'll drink beer to compete for the title of Beer Bowl Champion — and $50,000. Kelce, a co-owner of Garage Beer alongside his brother Travis Kelce, says, "We’re gonna see who the best beer-drinking team is. It's gonna be a good time."

He seems pretty confident, boasting, "I am good, I'm good at anything really involving beer," adding, "I like to hold my own."

Earlier Wednesday, Kylie joined attendees at the Eagles Autism Foundation morning yoga session.

An Instagram video showed Kylie and other participants during the yoga session, led by instructor Katie Begley, also known as Popstar Katie.

"Guys, we're here for year two and as you can see, I'm glistening because Popstar Katie herself took care of all of us out here," Kylie says in the video before panning to the rest of the session's attendees, who cheered in the background. "Let's go, go birds, see you at the OD later," Kylie signed off, referring to Ocean Drive, where Jason joined her for his bartending shift.
