Lift For Life® Launches Friends Asking Friends Network!

6/11/2006 Lift For Life® introduces a new and exciting form of giving with the new Friends Asking Friends network set up to challenge each Penn State Football player to competitively raise donations for their team.  Search for your favorite players or teams in the event and support them with a secure online donation today!  You may also help us spread the word by emailing friends and family about our cause.

Lift For Life has raised over $80,000 in its first 3 years for the benefit of the Kidney Cancer Association (KCA), a group striving for a world without kidney cancer. The KCA represents a cause that fights for the more than 30,000 people in the United States each year that are diagnosed with kidney cancer, but only represent 2-3% of all cancer cases.

The 2006 Lift For Life Event will be held this Friday, July 14th, at Holuba Hall.

18 Teams Set for July 14th Event

5/14/2006 18 Teams have signed up for the Penn State Football Lift For Life® event scheduled for July 14, 2006. Last year 96 Nittany Lion football players tested their strength and endurance in 11 events which raised over $30,000 for a medically under-served cause.
