I was forwarded this information from a person on the FB team, and wanted to put it out there for all of you to consider making a contribution to a worthy cause. Definitely a worthwhile effort being spearheaded by the SB football team.
Seawolves and Seawolves Fans we need your help.
As part of the football student-athlete leadership team for the Uplifting Athletes Stony Brook Chapter, we are working hard to prepare for our first annual Lift For Life held during our workouts from Wednesday, April 29th to Friday, May 1st.
Uplifting Athletes is a national nonprofit organization aligning college football with rare diseases.
Each campus chapter is run by current football student-athletes and works to elevate its chosen rare disease as a national priority through outreach, research, education and advocacy.
The network of university chapters nationwide brings the mission of Uplifting Athletes to life. Here at Stony Brook, our chapter supports the rare disease Medulloblastoma.
The Seawolves football team joined the fight against Medulloblastoma in honor of Joe Feminella, the Seawolves 14-year-old co-captain who was diagnosed with the disease when he was 5. Our Lift For Life event is our main fundraiser in support of raising research dollars for this rare disease.
Please consider supporting our Lift For Life by donating to our Chapter at give.upliftingathletes.org/SBUlift2015
