But it was all worth it, as Dillon became a Bar Mitzvah the
morning of Feb. 10 at Congregation Beth Or and celebrated later
on the club level of Lincoln Financial Field itself.
An appearance by Swoop and tours of the locker rooms and
press conference area for the kids added to the experience.
A special video surprise for the Bar Mitzvah boy featured a car-
toon version of Merrill Reese talking about Dillon’s big day with a
fellow animated Carson Wentz and other players.
With the help of an event planner whose son also had his party
at the Linc, Frankel tried to incorporate as many creative details as
she could within the space. Even the invitations had brown trim
that resembled that of a football.
Th e food was themed around the idea of a tailgate, including a
French fry station.
Like at football games, hawkers went around as guests left ,
hoisting trays of cotton candy, popcorn and Cracker Jacks.
Drinks, too, were on theme with a “Dilly Dilly” special, a nod
to the Bud Light commercials that aired leading up to game day as
well as to Dillon himself.
“It just couldn’t have been better,” she said.
Th e Bar Mitzvah boy sported a jersey during the party, which
read “Frankel, #13” on the back. (Josh Markowitz did something
similar, his mom noted, and all the men there wore green ties.)
“Th e best part about it, really, was the people,” Frankel said,
noting relatives even came in from Israel. “When you have every-
body in your life in one place — everybody was there — it was
amazing. It was just a big milestone.
“It was worth every penny,” she added. “I would do it again in
a minute.” ❤
