Our Northbrook location participated in the Annual Wheels VS Wheels Event on Thursday, August 17th.

Wheels VS Wheels is a disabilities and special needs Wheelchair Football Event that educates and encourages both children and adults to participate in athletics regardless of a physical or mental handicap.  GLASA (Great Lakes Adaptive Sports Association), The Ability Experience, NSYMCA (North Suburban YMCA), and North Shore Youth Football League all headed major roles as participating organizations for the execution of the event. Head coach, Pat Fitzgerald, his wife Stacey, and players from the Northwestern University football program also supported the event and were available for a meet and greet.

In addition, the local fire department showed off some of their vehicles, there were bouncy houses, mini games, and deep dish for guests to enjoy!

Lou Malnati’s Northbrook supplied slices of deep dish pizza at the Nuflatot Family and Community Carnival at Glenbrook North High School, put on by TotalLink2 Community, on April 28th.

What does “Nuflatot” mean? It’s “total fun” spelled backward!

The Nuflatot Carnival included games for students and their families, dancing, tunes provided by a DJ, and of course, food.

On Sunday, August 7th, our Northbrook pizzeria hosted a back to school night to celebrate their staff heading to college.

At our pizzerias, it’s always a sad time when we have to say goodbye to our seasonal staff as they go back to school. But why not celebrate the occasion instead?!

On Sunday, the staff all wore their college gear, and customers were encouraged to join in the fun! Anyone that wore their own college or school gear got to spin a prize wheel in our lobby for fun giveaways like appetizers or dessert, gift cards, t-shirts, and more!

Good luck, everyone!
