Illinois football’s yearly collaborations with Uplifting Athletes have gone pretty well in the past, but their 2017 event exceeded expectations! With your help, the Fighting Illini raised about $28,500 worth of funds in support of acoustic neuroma awareness and research, shattering last year’s mark of $21,500.

Based on the above tweets from the football team, Team Crouch won the actual weight-lifting contest between the eight squads. However, the real winners on Friday came from Team Allegretti because they managed to raise a staggering $9,241 of donations.
