Making a Difference
Uplifting AthletesSM is a group of University of Maryland football players working together to raise awareness and funds for rare diseases. These rare diseases affect fewer than 200,000 Americans and consequently little attention is paid to them. As college football student-athletes we believe we are in a position to make a difference.
This year they will be benefitting Cystic Fibrosis.
