SYRACUSE, N.Y – The Syracuse University chapter of Uplifting Athletes hosted its sixth annual "Lift for Life" event on Friday, July 20 inside Manley Field House.

The Orange football squad divided its roster into nine teams and squared off in various athletic challenges to raise research funds and awareness for those affected by rare diseases.

The Orange, who were also joined by children from Team IMPACT, raised more than $6,700 for the rare-disease community with one week still left to donate. One-hundred percent of the contributions go to support Uplifting Athletes and its commitment to life skills development, patient-focused programs and rare-disease research.
