Proceeds benefit Uplifting Athletes, Inc.
The student-athlete led Lehigh 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 throughout the month of October.
During Touchdown Pledge Drive month, the Lehigh Mountain Hawks play a home game against Georgetown and travel to Colgate and Fordham. Fans can support the team by making a pledge for each touchdown they score in all three games. We are projecting our team to score 9 touchdowns total! As the games unfold, watch and cheer as each touchdown scored helps raise money to support the Rare Disease Community.
The proceeds from our 2019 Touchdown Pledge Drive support the mission of Uplifting Athletes and its commitment to create Uplifting Experiences, fund Rare Disease Research, and expand Rare Disease Awareness.
How you can help
The Lehigh Chapter
Uplifting Athletes is pleased to have the Lehigh football program join the nationwide network of chapters led by college football student-athletes. The 2018 Touchdown Pledge Drive was the Mountain Hawks’ first event to support the Rare Disease Community. The team also hosted a Lift For Life in the spring.
