🐢 ONE BIG THING

The Maryland Chapter of Uplifting Athletes is hosting its annual Lift For Life to support the rare disease community today!

Lift For Life is the signature awareness and fundraising event for the Maryland Chapter of Uplifting Athletes—and Maryland Football is a part of a national network of collegiate chapters which embrace the mission of Uplifting Athletes by using their platform to inspire and invest in the rare disease community through the power of sport.

Today, the challenges faced by the rare community are bigger than any one individual, team, or organization can tackle alone. However, the Maryland Chapter is uniquely positioned to shine a spotlight on this cause and drive awareness beyond their field, locker room, and workout facilities through their Lift For Life which is set at an impressive $2,000 fundraising goal.
