The annual “Lift for Life,” the signature event of the Penn State Uplifting Athletes chapter, is set for Saturday, July 11 from 11 a.m.-2 p.m.
The 13th Annual Penn State Lift For Life will feature the usual feats of strength and endurance displayed by members of the Penn State football team.
The popular competition will be held during the Central Pennsylvania Festival of the Arts and take place at the Penn State Lacrosse Field next to the multi-sport facility.
The event will include an obstacle course, sand bag stack, sled pull and push, shuttle run and finish with a tug of war. There is a suggested donation of $10 for adults and $5 for kids to support the Penn State Chapter of Uplifting Athletes. All proceeds from the Penn State Lift For Life will benefit kidney cancer patients and their families.
The football team will also conduct a kids clinic from 11 a.m.-1 p.m. and all the players will be available from 1-2 p.m. for autographs and photos. Cost to participate in the clinic is $15 per child. Participants also will receive a Lift For Life T-shirt.
More than 80 football squad members are expected participate in the Penn State Lift For Life and will be available for the autograph session.
Fans can make a Lift For Life donation by visiting the Penn State Uplifting Athletes website at: give.upliftingathletes.org/psulift2015.
Uplifting Athletes is a national nonprofit organization run by student athletes that partners college football programs with awareness and outreach for rare diseases. Penn State raises money every year for the fight against kidney cancer and has raised over a million in funding since 2003.
