Clemson Touchdown Pledge Drive 2020

The Clemson Chapter of Uplifting Athletes will be holding a Touchdown Pledge Drive on October 24th versus Syracuse to shine a spotlight on the Rare Disease Community.

Tigers fans can tackle rare diseases by making a pledge for each touchdown scored against Syracuse. Then watch and cheer as each Clemson touchdown helps raise money to support the Rare Disease Community.

The challenges faced by the Rare Disease Community today are bigger than any one individual, team or organization can tackle alone. To create the change needed we all must rally together.

We have the opportunity to provide hope and NOW is the time to take action!

Proceeds from the Clemson Chapter 2020 Touchdown Pledge Drive support Uplifting Athletes and its commitment to create Uplifting Leaders, engage in Uplifting Experiences, fund Rare Disease Research, and expand Rare Disease Awareness.

The Clemson Chapter

The Clemson Chapter started tackling rare diseases in 2014 when it joined Uplifting Athletes. Founded by former kicker Chandler Catanzaro and long snapper Jim Brown, the student-athlete led Clemson Chapter serves the Rare Disease Community in honor of an assistant coach who fought kidney cancer, a former player who fights Castleman disease, and a member of the Tigers athletic staff whose child battles neuroblastoma.
