Uplifting Athletes, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that operates as a national charter and serves as a uniting force to help change the perception of rare diseases. Our network of university chapters is currently expanding within major NCAA Division 1A football programs to enhance the current football student-athletes’ academic and playing experience with real-world job skills while empowering them to mobilize the college football community to make a difference.
