Attention, Champaigniacs. It’s time to gather your weapons and defend our honor against Illini Board. The annual Illinois Football Lift for Life will take place at Memorial Stadium on Friday morning, and we’ll once again be participating in a fundraising battle against Robert’s rag-tag army of misguided hooligans.
This year, we’ll be adopting Team Turner. Illini Board has selected Team Marchese.
It's Lift For Life week which means one thing: we challenge @Champaign_Room to see who can raise more money. RT plz. https://t.co/vH3FH7tVG3

For those that aren’t familiar with this event, Illinois joined Uplifting Athletes in 2012 to help raise awareness and funds for research that combats acoustic neuroma, a rare and nasty disease that cost former Illini lineman Andrew Carter his college career.
