Nine different Canisius High School alumni representing five different graduating classes were part of a basketball world record set this week in Buffalo.

The former Crusaders were part of teams that played round-the-clock basketball across six days at Nardin Academy, setting a world record in an event titled "The World's Longest Basketball Game."

The game, which included a mix of men and women among its 23 players, was held from August 6-11, setting a new record of 120 hours, 2 minutes.

The event, supported by several local sponsors and numerous volunteers, raised more than $60,000 for mental health charities across Western New York.

The event was organized by Nick Revelas '18 to raise awareness about mental health while honoring Revelas' late classmate, Devin Waring. The record-breaking game was a continuation of several fundraising basketball events Revelas and his family's foundation have held in recent years. 

Here are the Crusaders who took part:   

Charlie Desmond '16

John Scrocco '19
Brad Arcara '20
EJ McDermid '20
