Charleston Southern Football Lift For Life 2021: Team Melton

The 2021 Charleston Southern Lift for Life is coming up and our team is proud to dedicate our performance in support of Uplifting Athletes and its mission to inspire the Rare Disease Community with hope through the power of sport.

Lift For Life is a signature event held by fellow student-athletes at universities across the country. Our Lift for Life is scheduled for June 26.

Fans and supporters can make a pledge for each yard of our teams longest medicine ball toss. Our goal is 8 yards during our Lift for Life competition

The challenges faced by the Rare Disease Community are bigger than any one individual, team or organization can tackle alone. Here at Charleston Southern we take pride in the opportunity to shine a spotlight on rare diseases and support Uplifting Athletes.

Uplifting Athletes at Charleston Southern

Freshman defensive lineman and Syracuse transfer, Cooper Dawson, attended the 2020 and 2021 Uplifting Athletes Leadership Development Conference and has a strong connection with the Rare Disease Community. When he made his college choice at the end of high school, Dawson invited his good friend, who is a rare disease patient, to help make the announcement. He is excited to help his new school, Charleston Southern, support the rare disease cause.

About Uplifting Athletes

A nonprofit organization founded in 2007, Uplifting Athletes inspires the Rare Disease Community with hope through the power of sport. A rare disease is one that affects fewer than 200,000 Americans and typically lacks financial incentive to make and market new treatments. Uplifting Athletes fulfills its mission through a unique network of college football student-athlete led chapters, Uplifting Ambassadors and Team UA participants.

Since its inception, Uplifting Athletes has raised more than $5 million to support the mission of Uplifting Athletes and its charitable programs: Rare Disease Awareness, Rare Disease Research, Uplifting Experiences and Uplifting Leaders.
