Uplifting Athletes Since 2006, sixth graders at Northern Lebanon have competed annually in a fundraising field day called the "Challenge Cup." Click the link below to watch this year's event! (Penn State football players will appreciate the 3 minute hang about halfway through the video. Nice cameo by the Willie family, too!)

Uplifting Athletes Please help by answering this question! If you saw an advertisement in the stadium asking you to send a text to donate $5 to Uplifting Athletes...would you do it?

Do you have "in memorrium" cards. Sometimes when someone dies people like to donate to a charity and the charity sends out a card that says "A donation has been made in the name of _____ etc...." I think that would be good if you don't have that already. I would def. use that.

Uplifting Athletes Uplifting Athletes was inspired by what we learned from my father's battle with a rare disease. It's hard to believe that four years have already passed, but today is a great reminder of why we work so tirelessly and give so selflessly in the passionate pursuit of our mission.

Thank you for all you do... I talked to your mother one year at the event... I found out I had kidney cancer in Aug 2003 and Mom found out she had it in Dec 2003.... I get check ups every 4 months.. Mom later on developed pancreas cancer and passed on... Hoping they find out what is causing this rare disease.. and it can be a thing of the past.. Thank you so much Mr. Shirley....

The newly formed "Team UA" allows fans to turn their next run, ride, triathlon or adventure race into an opportunity to support college football players helping rare disease patients. Donations made through members of "Team UA" enable Uplifting Athletes to benefit a rare disease community of nearly 30 million American...s. The 2009 Baltimore Marathon was the first annual "Team UA" fundraising challenge between Big Ten and ACC football fans...with the ACC fans taking home the title!Read More

A great day was had by all. Thanks to all who organized and executed this event. Miles loved his day at, as he puts it, "Joepa's House." :)
