Lou Malnati's will host its 37th annual Cancer Benefit on Monday, September 10, 2007.

All proceeds benefit Lou Malnati's Cancer Research fund, the charitable arm of the Lou Malnati's. The research fund will then allocate funds to Chicago-area cancer research and treatment programs at Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Programs will also benefit programs at Chicago's Gilda's Club and Children's Memorial Hospital.
For the past 36 years, Lou Malnati's has hosted an annual one-day event to raise funds for cancer research. Lou and Jean Malnati first started the event as a scholarship fund for local athletes to Wake Forest University in the name of Brian Piccolo, and after Lou died of cancer in 1978, Jean carried on the annual tradition in Lou's name and the focus was changed to raising money for cancer research.
Last year the benefit raised more than $150,000, and in the past 10 years it has raised more than $1.5 million to benefit organizations such as Northwestern Memorial Hospital, Gilda's Club of Chicago, and Children's Memorial Hospital which are dedicated to finding a cure for cancer.
