The winner of this item will receive an official Young Investigator Draft jersey featuring the powerful message “We Tackle Rare” displayed across the back. This unique piece represents the heart of Uplifting Athletes’ mission and serves as a bold symbol of the fight against rare diseases.

The Young Investigator Draft brings together athletes, researchers, and supporters to advance scientific discovery in a space where fewer than 10% of known rare diseases have an FDA-approved treatment. “We Tackle Rare” reflects the commitment to funding and celebrating the next generation of rare disease researchers who are working tirelessly to change that reality.

More than just apparel, this jersey is a statement of purpose—honoring the collaboration between sport and science and the shared determination to make a lasting impact for the rare disease community. It’s a meaningful keepsake for fans, advocates, and anyone proud to stand behind the mission of Uplifting Athletes.
