Georgia Tech Touchdown Pledge Drive 2020

The Georgia Tech Chapter of Uplifting Athletes will be holding a Touchdown Pledge Drive on October 17th versus Clemson to shine a spotlight on the Rare Disease Community.

Yellow Jacket fans can tackle rare diseases by making a pledge for each touchdown scored against Clemson. Then watch and cheer as each Georgia Tech 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 Georgia Tech 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 Georgia Tech Chapter

The Georgia Tech Chapter started tackling rare diseases in 2015 when it joined Uplifting Athletes. Offensive lineman Trey Klock was instrumental in forming the Georgia Tech Chapter after his family was impacted by two rare diseases. Trey realized the depth of the platform provided to college student-athletes and was inspired to help fight rare diseases. Georgia Tech held its inaugural Lift For Life in 2016.
