Mike Hardy was a brother of the Sigma Nu Beta Iota chapter at the University of Mount Union back in the mid-'80s. For a period of time, he held the world record for the longest time dribbling a basketball at 24 hours! Sadly, Mike lost his life in a car accident while still a student at UMU. For 36 years, we have honored our late brother by putting on a 12-hour basketball tournament. Simultaneously, we use this event to raise funds for our long-standing philanthropy, the Ponery Children's Orphanage in Kursk, Russia.
