Details:

The Newman Catholic Student Centers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University are sponsoring the inaugural Duke-Carolina Basketball Marathon, a nonreligious, year-long fundraising competition, in conjunction with other student groups. It will culminate with a 58-hour basketball game that will attempt to be noted in Guinness World Records for the longest basketball game ever played.

The event will benefit Hoop Dreams Basketball Academy, a nonprofit organization that helps children with life-threatening illnesses regain a sense of normality in their lives through athletics.

Location: Fetzer Gymnasium at UNC-Chapel Hill
