50th Annual Lou Malnati’s Cancer Research Benefit Takes Place

The event was held at Loft 21 in Lincolnshire, Ill.

This marks 50 years of raising money for cancer research and education programs.

It was an evening full of eating, dancing, live and silent auctions, a raffle, and more. The auctions featured a variety of fun items ranging from tickets to a Duke basketball game, to autographed memorabilia, to week-long getaways and more.

Thanks to all the generous donations, we will have raised anywhere between $375,000-$400,000, with hopes of officially reaching that $400K mark through the funds we still have coming in. Through all of our continued efforts, the Northwestern Medicine Lou and Jean Malnati Brain Tumor Institute has become one of the top brain tumor institutes in the country!

Of course, the evening would not be possible without our kitchen staff and volunteer workers, who worked tirelessly all night to ensure our guests had the best possible experience.

It’s never too early to make your plans to join us next year!
