Brian Quick established the game as a high schooler in 1976. It took on new meaning and status as a fundraiser after Quick's sister, Lisa, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis a short time later.

Now players must raise at least $50 to get into the three-hour game at Wilde Field outside Lisle Junior High School.

Quick said organizers hope to generate more than $5,000 this year for Lisa and MS research, bringing their grand total since the fundraiser began to more than $115,000.

Six of the 30 players in Friday's Turkey Bowl XXXI were among the original group that got together more than three decades ago.READ MORE
