STATE COLLEGE -- Wins and losses matter at Penn State, save for one day every year.

Technically, the offense beat the defense 31-30 at Saturday's 13th annual Lift for Life event, but only one number mattered.

The program has raised more than $100,000 for kidney cancer in four consecutive years. On Saturday, the streak extended to five, as Penn State and Uplifting Athletes announced the program raised $119,303 in 2014-2015.

"I'm really excited for how much work has gone into this, and to see it kind of go into fruition today, and the fans and players all enjoy the day, and I think that's kind of the biggest thing for me," Penn State Uplifting Athletes chapter president and senior linebacker Ben Kline said. "I'm really excited to see it get rolling."

The event got rolling in a hurry on a sun-splashed day here in front of more than 100 fans. Drills included a sled push, bench press reps, tire flipping, and a tug of war won by the offense after its freshmen members came through at the end.

Penn State's players have been on campus lifting since June, and while they mostly toil in the weight room or in Holuba Hall, Saturday's event allowed them to showcase their gains in front of fans while raising money for a good cause.

"Today's just a great event," receiver Gregg Garrity said. "We do this every year of course, and year in and year out, we put up big numbers because of the fans and all the donors. It's just a great thing we're doing here, just get out and work in front of the fans."

Fellow receiver Chris Godwin called the event exciting while explaining the impact the fans have.

"It's great for us to be here and for the fans to be able to be here and do this for a good cause," he said. "We're out here supporting kidney cancer, and I think what we're doing out here is really great. It's an overall exciting experience."

Penn State set a goal to raise $100,000, and with it accomplished yet again, the program will turn its focus to doing it again next year.

"The No. 1 goal today was to raise $100,000," associate athletic director for performance enhancement Dwight Galt said. "That was the No. 1 thing. They couldn't control that, but that was really important to our guys. "The No. 2 thing - we wanted to have fun. The guys have eight weeks in the bank right now (for summer workouts). They are crushing it right now.

"Then the third thing, we wanted them to compete and put on a good show. And I think we were 3-for-3. This was a big time success today."
