Gywnedd Mercy: Sport Management joins #TeamUA
Gywnedd Mercy: Sport Management is proud to partner and join Team UA in support of Uplifting Athletes. We have been extremely excited to be partnering all semester long with the students and getting them engaged in our mission and work.
Uplifting Athletes is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that harnesses the power of sport to build community and invest in the lives of those impacted by rare disease.
Team UA is Uplifting Athletes’ signature fundraising and advocacy initiative — powered by students at colleges and universities across the country, as well as select high school and youth sports programs. The challenges faced by the rare disease community are bigger than any one individual, team, or organization can tackle alone.
Our sport management class at Gywnedd Mercy University takes pride in this opportunity to shine a spotlight on rare diseases and support Uplifting Athletes—so that no person feels alone in their fight.
Supporting our Team UA page is simple! Fans can make a contribution to support our teams efforts this season.
Thank you for standing with us and supporting the rare disease community.
