Mark your calendars—Pennington Biomedical Research Center is hosting its premier fundraising event, The Answer, on March 27th at LaBerge Casino. This annual gala supports groundbreaking research on obesity, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, and other chronic diseases, making it a can’t-miss event for science enthusiasts and community supporters alike.
For years, Pennington has been an under-the-radar gem in Baton Rouge, earning worldwide recognition for its contributions to medical research. Nearly every obesity and diabetes drug on the market has passed through Pennington’s labs for testing, analysis, and validation. Beyond advancing global science, the center also nurtures homegrown talent, keeping Louisiana researchers in-state while attracting experts from across the globe.
The Answer promises an interactive and entertaining evening, far from a traditional sit-down gala. Guests can enjoy trivia, games, live and silent auctions, and southern-inspired cuisine as part of this year’s “Best of the Bayou” theme. Participants will also have a unique opportunity to meet Pennington scientists, gaining firsthand insights into their research and the impact it has on health worldwide.
This year, the event moves off campus to accommodate more attendees and offer a more accessible ticketing experience. Whether you’re bidding in the silent auction, testing your knowledge in the trivia contest, or sampling delicious local dishes, every activity directly supports vital research initiatives.
Tickets, tables, and sponsorships are available at https://pbrf.org/events/answer/, making it easy for individuals and organizations to join the cause. Don’t miss this chance to enjoy a night of fun, food, and philanthropy while supporting cutting-edge medical research right here in Baton Rouge.
