The fraternity played basket- ball for 72 consecutive hours from Wednesday until Saturday and raised $2,300 in an event co-spon- sored by the Make-A-Wish Foun- dation to help send Greg Lyle to The Magic Kingdom. Sigma Nu had hoped to raise $2,500 for Lyle, who was diag- nosed at age three with a rare brain disease. The Make-A-Wish Foundation is a nonprofit organization that grants wishes to children with life-threatening illnesses.
