MVP CARES is all about harnessing the winning energy of standout athletes like freshman star Laila Williams—who’s partnered with Lou Malnati’s to donate a share of her NIL earnings to Lou Malnati’s Cancer Research Foundation at Northwestern Medicine’s Lou and Jean Malnati Brain Tumor Institute. By getting involved, you’re not just cheering Laila on; you’re actively fueling cutting-edge research and offering new hope to families battling brain tumors.
Your support elevates Laila’s commitment beyond the court, turning her drive for success into a powerful force for good. Every dollar raised goes straight to funding innovative treatments and expanding vital care options for patients in need. By stepping up with MVP CARES, you’re showing that teamwork and determination can make a real difference—on the scoreboard and in people’s lives.
