Nebraska has been an official Uplifting Athletes Chapter and campus recognized student organization since 2012. The National Uplifting Athletes organization works hard to raise awareness and funds for a rare disease of the team's choice. Because of the relationship created in 2012 between Rex Burkhead and Jack Hoffman, the Nebraska football team has been committed to the rare disease of Pediatric Brain Cancer.
