The Colgate Chapter of Uplifting Athletes has made it a mission to help a coach battling a rare disease... and they succeeded so far.  The chapter held its 4^rd annual Lift For Life on Wednesday, March 23, 2011 and raised more than $13,000, breaking last year's fundraising total and this year's goal of $10,000.  Money raised will go towards Ependymoma, a rare type of brain or spinal cord tumor, in honor of Offensive Line Coach Casey Vogt. 

Coach Vogt is currently surviving Ependymoma, a rare disease that can affect adults and children.  Vogt often reminds his team of the quote, "If it is to be, it is up to me."  The team has made it its mission to do what they can to bring awareness to the rare disease and to let Vogt know how much they appreciate what he does for them as student-athletes.

Last year, the team raised more than $8,600 for neuroblastoma.  This year the team hopes to raise $10,000 for Ependymoma research.  Donations can be made online by clicking on the Colgate chapter.
