Marist Football Lift For Life 2021: Team Arrington

The 2021 Marist Football Chapter Lift for Life is coming up and our team is proud to dedicate our performance in support of Uplifting Athletes and its mission to inspire the Rare Disease Community with hope through the power of sport.

Lift For Life is a signature event held by fellow student-athletes at universities across the country. Our Lift for Life is scheduled for August 25.

Fans and supporters can make a pledge for each repetition Team Arrington averages of 225 bench press. Our goal is to average 10 reps during our Lift for Life competition.

The challenges faced by the Rare Disease Community are bigger than any one individual, team or organization can tackle alone. Here at Marist we take pride in the opportunity to shine a spotlight on rare diseases and support Uplifting Athletes.

The Marist Chapter

Uplifting Athletes is pleased to have Marist College join the nationwide network of chapters led by college football student-athletes. The 2019 Lift For Life event was the Red Foxes’ first event to support the Rare Disease Community and help Tackle Rare Diseases. The Chapter was founded by State College native Paul Olivett, a State College, Pa. native who developed a passion for the rare disease cause growing up in the shadow of Penn State. His desire to use his platform to help others led to him starting a chapter at Marist.

About Uplifting Athletes

A nonprofit organization founded in 2007, Uplifting Athletes inspires the Rare Disease Community with hope through the power of sport. A rare disease is one that affects fewer than 200,000 Americans and typically lacks financial incentive to make and market new treatments. Uplifting Athletes fulfills its mission through a unique network of college football student-athlete led chapters, Uplifting Ambassadors and Team UA participants.

Since its inception, Uplifting Athletes has raised more than $5 million to support the mission of Uplifting Athletes and its charitable programs: Rare Disease Awareness, Rare Disease Research, Uplifting Experiences and Uplifting Leaders.
