Two campus organizations are benefitting from the Second City show performed last month in the Duke Ellington Ballroom.

Phi Kappa Sigma, sponsor of the show, donated part of the show’s proceeds Thursday to the NIU Shirley W. Nelson Campus Child Care Center and the Special Physical Education Clinic.

Both organizations received about $750 from the fraternity.

Child Care Center Director Diane Kubetz said this was the “biggest fundraiser that someone has had for us.”

The money will be used for playground updating. Kubetz said the fraternity also would help by “donating time and energies to building equipment and repairing equipment that already exists” in the playground.

Dr. Garth Tymeson, special education clinic director said the clinic “depends almost entirely on organizations” for equipment funds. “It is very helpful,” he said.

Shower chairs are at the top of the equipment list. “These chairs transport kids who have physical disabilities into and out of the swimming area,” and they cost about $175, he said.

He also said they would like to purchase more sports wheelchairs for the disabled individuals who participate in sports including volleyball, basketball, tennis and softball.

There are between 60 and 75 adults and children who benefit from the specially designed instruction in the program, Tymeson said.

The clinic is involved in the National Wheelchair Athletic Association, Special Olympics and the National Association of Sport for Cerebral Palsy.

Disabled individuals are tested for weaknesses and instructed daily, Tymeson said.

The program has been on campus for six years and residents of DeKalb, Sycamore and surrounding suburbs are involved.
