With five individuals giving $1 million gifts to Purdue's athletic department, the Mackey Arena Renovation is closer to being a reality.

One of the donors, Dr. Donald Shelborne helped me rehab my ankle with his revolutionary cryo-cuff system back in '94...I of course paid him for the service, and he invested my money wisely...thus, I am partially responsible for Dr. Shelborne's sizeable gift.

In other words, you're welcome, Purdue.
