Garnet Valley Football - Hosts Life for Life

Garnet Valley Football is stepping up in a big way, hosting Lift for Life — a high-energy, community-driven event in support of Uplifting Athletes and the rare disease community.

This is more than a workout. It’s a team-wide commitment to something bigger.

Lift for Life brings players, coaches, families, and the Garnet Valley community together through strength, competition, and purpose. Every rep, every set, every moment is about more than football. It’s about showing up for families facing rare diseases and proving what a team can do when it rallies around a cause.

And the team is all in.

Garnet Valley student-athletes aren’t just participating. They’re leading. Taking ownership. Using their platform to drive awareness, build support, and create real impact for those who need it most.

That’s what Team UA is all about.

Uplifting Athletes, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, harnesses the power of sport to build community and invest in the lives of those impacted by rare disease. Through Team UA, high school athletes across the country are stepping into leadership roles and showing that challenges like these are bigger than any one team and stronger when tackled together.

Garnet Valley Football is proud to stand in that space. To lead from the front. To represent something beyond the scoreboard.

Supporters can give directly to the team’s fundraising page, helping fuel Garnet Valley’s efforts and deliver meaningful impact for families who need it most.

Our Jaguar Lift for Life Committee

Behind this effort is a dedicated, student-led steering committee that’s driving the vision and making it all happen.

Coltan Turner, Nick DiLuzio, Parker Bridge, Zack Bascelli, and Lucas Crocamo are leading the charge — organizing the event, rallying their teammates, and turning purpose into action.

They’re not just participating. They’re building something bigger than themselves and creating real impact for the rare disease community.
