Support the 3rd Annual Brunswick School Lift for Life
The Brunswick School Football team is proud to host its 3rd Annual Lift for Life in support of Uplifting Athletes and the rare disease community. Last year, our players, families, alumni, and supporters came together to raise more than $40,000, demonstrating what is possible when a community rallies around a cause bigger than itself.
This year, we're setting an even bolder goal of $50,000.
Why such a big goal? Because the need has never been greater. More than 30 million Americans are living with a rare disease, and families are looking for hope, answers, and connection. Every dollar raised helps fuel critical rare disease research while making it possible for Uplifting Athletes to provide life changing Uplifting Experiences that bring together patients, families, researchers, and student athletes. As demand for both research funding and these meaningful experiences continues to grow, so does our commitment to meeting that need.
Together, we have the opportunity to make our biggest impact yet. By reaching our $50,000 goal, we will help accelerate research, create unforgettable moments for families facing rare diseases, and show what the Brunswick Football community can accomplish when we play for something greater than ourselves.
Lift for Life is the signature fundraising event of Uplifting Athletes, a nonprofit organization that harnesses the power of sport to build community and invest in the lives of those impacted by rare diseases. Student-athletes across the country participate in Lift for Life events to raise awareness and critical funding while demonstrating the strength of teamwork and service.
The challenges faced by the 30 million Americans living with a rare disease are bigger than any one individual, team, or organization can solve alone. That's why our team is honored to use our platform to support this important cause and help ensure that no person affected by a rare disease feels alone.
