Lou Malnati’s pizzeria hosted its 50th anniversary Cancer Research Benefit at Loft 21.
The dance floor was on fire all night, and emcee David Kaplan of ESPN and NBC Sports kept the energy alive. Mark Agnew shared his remarks, and guests snacked on appetizers such as Lou Malnati’s pizza and caprese skewers and participated in a live auction and raffle.
Guests left with wine bottles engraved with a photo of Lou Malnati in honor of the event. The evening raised funds for the Malnati Brain Tumor Institute. Overall, Lou Malnati’s has contributed over $4 million to aid cancer research.
