Penn State football 2023 Lift for Life: Time, entrance fee, parking, event location, and more
Penn State football will hold its annual Lift for Life event on Thursday. The workout-based fundraiser benefits the rare disease community and has been raising money for it since 2009, when Scott Shirley founded it and Uplifting Athletes.
“When Shirley’s Penn State teammate, Damon Jones, learned of the challenges the Shirley family was enduring when Scott’s father, Don Shirley, was diagnosed with a rare disease in 2002, Damon suggested that they do something since they were in a position to shine their spotlight on those who needed a voice,” the Uplifting Athletes website says.
“The Penn State football team rallied around the idea of leveraging a summer strength and conditioning competition into a fundraising event called Lift For Life by opening it up to their fans and the media. They soon realized that the benefits of this new organization were far greater than they had imagined.”
Uplifting Athlete chapters are now at schools across the country. Penn State’s has raised $1,407,412.17 so far. Here’s how you can both attend the event, and help swell that total, this year.
When and where is the 2023 Lift for Life at Penn State?
It will be held today, Thurs., June 22. The Holuba Hall doors that are accessible via the Holuba Hall/East Area Locker Room parking lot will open at 3:30 p.m. The action will then take place inside Holuba Hall starting at 4 p.m. It typically runs 90 minutes to two hours.

According to a Penn State news release:
“Fans are asked to park in Jordan East (formerly Lot 44). Fans will be required to pay for parking via the ParkMobile app. Each available parking area has an associated ParkMobile zone number (posted on entrance signage for general areas and at available ADA parking spaces), which is selected within the ParkMobile app to pay for parking for that location.
