SYRACUSE, N.Y. – The Syracuse University chapter of Uplifting Athletes hosted its seventh annual "Lift for Life" event on Thursday, July 18 inside Manley Field House.
The Orange football squad divided its roster into eight teams and squared off in various athletic challenges to raise research funds and awareness for those affected by rare diseases.
To date, Syracuse has raised nearly $7,000 with a bench press competition still to come tomorrow morning. 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.
