Our Lakewood location served pizza during the Laughs at the Lake Comedy Show at Crystal Lake Brewing on Wednesday, October 18^th.

Laughs at the Lake is an annual fundraising event for the Boy Scouts of America in McHenry County.  Guests assembled to participate in a raffle and tried locally crafted beverages from Crystal Lake Brewing all while listening to bits by emerging Chicagoland comedians.

Philanthropy, deep dish, beer, and comedy?  This event is no joke!

On Thursday, September 14th, our Buffalo Grove restaurant sampled pizzas during a Make-A-Wish Foundation benefit performance hosted by The Buffalo Grove Singers.

Buffalo Grove Park District’s BG Singers celebrated their 25th Anniversary Show, A Night of Wishes, by partnering with The Make-A-Wish Foundation.  It was a gratifying experience; the community choral group shared and recognized a historical milestone, all whilst raising funds for Illinois children in need.

All proceeds benefitted Make-A-Wish Illinois.

On Wednesday, August 16th, our Schaumburg restaurant supplied pizza during the Illinois Veterans’ Business Appreciation Award Ceremony at the Trickster Art Gallery.

The Illinois Department of Veteran Affairs selected the Trickster Art Gallery as the recipient of the Veterans’ Business Award out of all candidates that were nominated throughout the state.  The afternoon highlighted and honored the exemplary contributions and efforts that the Trickster Gallery puts forth towards the Veteran community.

It was a fantastic celebration; we were honored to be there!

The mission of the Children’s Brittle Bone Foundation is to provide funds for research into the causes, diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and eventual cure for Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI), while supporting programs that improve the quality of life for people afflicted with OI, promote awareness, and educate the public.

It was a great day of golf for a great cause!

On Friday, July 14th, our Buffalo Grove location participated in celebrating the 10th anniversary of Hansa Soccer Academy.

Hansa is a developmental youth academy designed for boys and girls between the ages of 5 and 18.  Since being founded in 2006, nearly 3000 kids have joined from all over the Chicagoland area.  This athletic program focuses on the growth of the individual and team based skills by learning different innovative fundamentals and techniques to enhance each player’s soccer IQ.

All kinds of soccer games, even bubble soccer, were played and the kids received individual pizza incentive coupons throughout the day.  And to top it off, there was a post games pizza party!

On Tuesday, January 17th, our carryout location in Cary sponsored the Crystal Lake & Cary Grove Multi-Chamber Mixer at the Sage YMCA for a second year in a row.

Our Cary location opened in November 2015, so as a still relatively new restaurant in the community, we were happy to mix it up with fellow Cary businesses!

At the event, we served up slices of our famous deep dish pizza, and entertainment was provided by barbershop chorus, Fox Valley Men of Harmony. The guys loved our pizza so much, they sang a special song, just for us!
