Lift For Life is the signature fundraising event for our Penn State Chapter and our fellow college football student-athlete brothers who have joined the Uplifting Athletes nationwide network of chapters.
Our Lift For Life is scheduled for Saturday, July 15 inside Holuba Hall starting at 11:00 a.m. As always, our event is open to the public.
Today, the challenges faced by the rare disease community are bigger than any one individual, team or organization can tackle alone. Here at Penn State, we take pride in the opportunity to shine a spotlight on rare diseases and support 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.
Penn State was the first Uplifting Athletes Chapter. Founded in 2003 by Uplifting Athletes founder Scott Shirley in honor of his father, Don Shirley. When Don Shirley was diagnosed with a rare disease, Scott Shirley and his Penn State teammates rallied behind the notion of using their position as college football student-athletes to shine a spotlight on the rare disease community.
The Penn State Chapter has run a Lift For Life as part of Uplifting Athletes every year since 2003.
Thank you for your support of the Penn State Chapter and the rare disease community. Every little bit helps. Please don’t forget to share this campaign and your support on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.)
#TogetherWeAreStronger!
Sincerely,
Penn State Chapter Wide Receivers
