Penn State Names New Officers

The Penn State Chapter of Uplifting Athletes has elected new officers for 2011. Offensive Tackle Mike Farrell (Pittsburgh) was named President. Offensive Tackle Eric Shrive (Scranton) was voted by teammates Vice President, while Linebacker Mike Yancich (Washington) was named secretary and Ty Howle (Wake Forest, NC) was selected to be Head of Operations.

The date for this year's Lift For Life is Friday, July 8th at Holuba Hall.  This year's date allows fans to avoid the traffic associated with Arts Fest Weekend.

Since 2003, the Penn State Chapter has raised nearly $500,000 for the Kidney Cancer Association. This past year, the chapter raised a record total of $98,461.35, more than $16,000 more than was raised in 2009.
