Seeking to raise money and awareness for a cause near and dear to Northwestern Football, the NU chapter of Uplifting Athletes on Tuesday evening staged a successful third-annual 'Lift for Life' fundraiser in Evanston.

Uplifting Athletes is an organization founded in 2003 that seeks to raise money and awareness for rare diseases. Funds raised by the Northwestern chapter of Uplifting Athletes benefit the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Foundation; the foundation aims to find a cure for a rare neurodegenerative disease called Niemann-Pick Type C, which primarily strikes children before or during adolescence.
