2020 Charger Lift-a-thon
Thanks to all of our alumni, friends and family, we have already exceeded our goal! We are so excited to set a new goal of $45,000! Time is running out, so make your gift today and help us reach our new goal!!
Remember the Lift-a-thon? After 40 years, it's still going strong!
As this tradition continues, please consider joining Charger football TEAM 128 as they do the heavy lifting to support their program. Our goal this year is to raise $35,000 through the Lift-a-thon campaign, and we need your help to reach it!
The Lift-a-thon will be February 29 at 1pm in the JAM weight room. We will live stream the event and encourage sponsors, parents, alumni and friends to tune in from afar (we'll keep you posted with more info).
Awards will be given to the individuals who successfully hang clean the greatest amount of weight in each weight class and to the greatest over-all lift.
Gifts to the football team during the Lift-a-thon campaign will help to continue its first-class program and allow the players to focus on their studies and the game.
***If you're supporting a particular player, please remember to include his name on the "In Honor Of" section of the giving form.***
Do you think you have what it takes to do some heavy lifting against TEAM 128? If so, we invite you to participate in the Lift-a-thon on February 29 at 1pm in the JAM weight room! To be eligible, you must have at least $200 in outside gifts or sponsorships. If you have any questions or would like to register, please contact Nate Shreffler by February 24 at nshreffler@hillsdale.edu or (517) 607-3141.
