The Penn State football team is set to participate in its annual charity event, Lift for Life, on Friday July 9. The event benefits Uplifting Athletes, whose mission states:
↵↵↵Uplifting Athletes is a national nonprofit organization aligning college football with rare diseases and raising them as a national priority through outreach, research, education and advocacy. What makes Uplifting Athletes unique is that our chapter network is run by current football student-athletes, providing them with an opportunity to gain practical job skills while learning how to leverage their assets and abilities to make a positive and lasting impact.

The team names for the participants were released today. Of note are “3 & 1/2 Men” which includes barely-5’7" WR Devon Smith and “4th and Long” which includes the PSU starting punter (just don’t ask any of them who the punter will be).
↵Even if you don’t root for Penn State, any donations would be greatly appreciated to this worthwhile cause.
