Illinois Chapter Touchdown Pledge Drive '20, Where Every Illini Score Means More!

The Illinois Chapter of Uplifting Athletes will be holding a Touchdown Pledge Drive on December 12th versus Northwestern to shine a spotlight on the Rare Disease Community.

Fighting Illini fans can tackle rare diseases, by making a pledge for each touchdown scored against Northwestern. Then watch and cheer as each Illinois 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 Illinois 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.


How you can help


The Illinois Chapter

The student-athlete led Illinois Chapter serves the Rare Disease Community in honor of Andrew Carter, a former Illini offensive lineman who battled the rare disease acoustic neuroma in 2011. Carter never played football again, but his fight inspired the Illinois football program to help Tackle Rare Diseases.


About Uplifting Athletes

A nonprofit organization founded in 2007, Uplifting Athletes inspires the Rare Disease Community with hope through the power of sport. Uplifting Athletes fulfills its mission through a network of college football student-athlete led chapters, Uplifting Ambassadors and Team UA participants that support our charitable programs: Uplifting Leaders, Uplifting Experiences, Rare Disease Research and Rare Disease Awareness.


Thank You!
