The Saint Francis football has joined the fight against rare diseases by becoming the 12th school nationally to start a chapter of Uplifting Athletes. Uplifting Athletes is a nonprofit organization uniting college football teams under the common goal of raising awareness and funds in the fight against rare diseases. A rare disease is defined as one that affects less than 200,000 people.

With more than 7,000 rare diseases in existence, the organization impacts more than 30-million Americans.
