The 10th Annual Penn State Uplifting Athletes "Lift For Life" was a tremendous success on Friday, raising the 2012 total to a record total in excess of $110,000 to benefit the Kidney Cancer Association.
As of noon on Saturday, Penn State football student-athletes have raised $110,374.00 for kidney cancer patients and awareness this year, with additional donations expected. The 2012 total breaks the chapter's previous record from the 2011 "Lift For Life," which netted $100,930.00 for the Kidney Cancer Association.
More than $700,000 has been raised in the battle against rare diseases by Penn State Uplifting Athletes since the inaugural "Lift For Life" was held in 2003.
