One out of 10 Americans will be diagnosed with a rare disease. Too often, little can be done to help since each disease affects fewer than 200,000 Americans. Fortunately, college football players have realized that they are in a position to make a difference.
Uplifting Athletes SM works with college football players to raise rare diseases as a national priority. Players gain valuable job skills by engaging their teammates and leading their university chapter to benefit a rare disease they are passionate about.
