Penn State football players battled in various feats of strength today (July 12) at the 12th annual Uplifting Athletes Lift for Life, which raises money for the Kidney Cancer Association. Founded at Penn State in 2003, Uplifting Athletes now has chapters at 25 universities where football players are raising awareness of rare diseases. Today's event, held at the lacrosse field, included a kids' clinic and events like the bench press, dead lift and tire flip.
