About Scott Shirley

As the founder and CEO of Pledge It, I have been leading the innovative fundraising platform for nearly a decade. I have a passion for empowering the athletes in all of us to raise funds for various causes by leveraging the power of performance. I have also received several awards and honors for my work, including the Forty Under 40, the Good Men of 2015, and the Alumni Achievement Award.My background in sports philanthropy is rooted in my personal experiences. When my father was diagnosed with a rare disease while I was playing football at Penn State, I organized the inaugural Lift For Life event with my teammates. This inspired me to create Uplifting Athletes, a national nonprofit that supports the rare disease community through sport. Since then, I have partnered with hundreds of professional athletes, major college sports teams, and national organizations like the American Cancer Society and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to create impactful and innovative fundraising campaigns. I am driven by the vision of using sport as a force for good in the world.
