Colgate Chapter Touchdown Pledge Drive '17, Where Every Raider Score Means More!

The student-athlete led Colgate Chapter of Uplifting Athletes is using college football as a platform to shine a spotlight on the rare disease community by holding a Touchdown Pledge Drive.

For the home game against Furman on September 23rd, fans can support the 2017 Colgate Raiders by making a pledge for each touchdown they score.

The proceeds from our 2017 Touchdown Pledge Drive support the mission of Uplifting Athletes and its charitable programs: Rare Disease Awareness, Rare Disease Research, Uplifting Experiences and Uplifting Leaders.

Please join our team as we tackle rare diseases by making your pledge today and click here to view the leaderboard and see where we rank against other Uplifting Athletes chapters!


How you can help

  • Make a PLEDGE for each touchdown the Raiders score against Furman. We are projecting our team to score 4 touchdowns that day!
  • Make a one-time flat DONATION

The Colgate Chapter

The Colgate Chapter started tackling rare diseases in 2008 when it joined Uplifting Athletes. The student-athlete led Colgate Chapter serves the rare disease community in honor of former offensive coach who was diagnosed with the rare disease ependymoma.

The Colgate Chapter also has established a relationship with a young ependymoma patient, Colin Hayward, and his family, that serves as an ongoing inspiration to the Raiders.


About Uplifting Athletes

Uplifting Athletes is a national nonprofit that inspires the rare disease community with hope through the power of sport and empowers medical researchers to find cures. A rare disease is one that affects fewer than 200,000 Americans and consequently lacks financial incentive to make and market new treatments. Founded in 2007, Uplifting Athletes has college football student-athlete led chapters nationwide in FBS and FCS programs including half the schools in the Big Ten and ACC conferences.

#WeTackleRare!

Sincerely,

Colgate Chapter Leaders
