Baylor Football Lift For Life 2023: Slangas

The Baylor Football Chapter Lift for Life is coming up and our team is proud to dedicate our performance in support of Uplifting Athletes. Uplifting Athletes is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization which harnesses the power of sport to build community and invest in the lives of those impacted by rare disease.

Lift For Life is Uplifting Athletes’ signature event held by student-athletes at colleges and universities across the country. Our event is scheduled for July 25.

The challenges faced by the rare community are bigger than any one individual, team, or organization can tackle alone. Here at Baylor, we take pride in the opportunity to shine a spotlight on rare diseases and support Uplifting Athletes so that no person feels alone.

Supporting our Lift for Life is simple! Fans can pledge for each point we win during our competition. Our goal is to win 20 points during the event.

The Baylor Chapter

The Baylor Chapter started tackling rare diseases in 2014 when it joined Uplifting Athletes. The student-athlete led Baylor Chapter serves the Rare Disease Community in honor of Jacoby Burks, a young man in Waco who battles Cerebral palsy.

Former Baylor wide receiver and current Uplifting Athletes Chapter Manager of Sports Engagement Levi Norwood had a relationship with Burks that went back to high school and committed to use his platform as a college football player to share their story.
