Baylor Touchdown Pledge Drive 2015

Baylor has scored 77 touchdowns this season and is one of the highest scoring FBS offenses in the country.

The Baylor Chapter of Uplifting Athletes will be looking for the offense to deliver more touchdowns for its regular season finale at McLane Stadium against Texas on December 5 by holding a Touchdown Pledge Drive.

Uplifting Athletes is a national non-profit organization with 25 chapters that support our mission to make a positive and lasting impact on the rare disease community through the power of college football.

Each touchdown the Bears score against Texas will benefit the student-athlete led Baylor Chapter and its efforts to raise awareness of and research funds for the rare disease cerebral palsy. The 2015 Baylor football team and Baylor Chapter President Andrew Billings is asking its fans to support their efforts by making a pledge through the Bears’ Touchdown Pledge Drive.

Founded in 2014 by former Bears WR Levi Norwood, the Baylor Chapter champions the rare disease cerebral palsy in honor of Jacoby Burks – a local Waco teenager battling this rare disease. Norwood has enjoyed a long personal relationship with Burks and his family that has been extended to the Baylor program.

Since its launch last year, the Baylor Chapter has held two successful Lift For Life awareness and fundraising events and last season held a Touchdown Pledge Drive against Kansas.
