Sigma Nu game-ball run to raise money for National M.S. Society

CLEMSON – The brothers of Sigma Nu fraternity at Clemson University and the University of South Carolina will be on the run next week, carrying the game ball for the Clemson-USC game from Clemson to Columbia.

They’re not just doing it for kicks. The annual event raises money for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.

The 138-mile trek will begin at 5 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 15, at the Esso Club in Clemson, as Clemson’s students depart with the ball. They will run through the night to Greenwood, where they will meet USC’s Sigma Nu chapter to hand the ball off. The USC students will run the ball the rest of the way to Columbia, where it will arrive Friday evening.

To make a donation, checks can be sent it Sigma Nu, 2224 University Station, Clemson, S.C., 29632. Checks can be made payable to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society.
