Lou Holtz to speak at brunch for cancer research

Hoag Memorial Hospital Presbyterian is scheduled to welcome college football legend Lou Holtz to its 20th annual Circle 1000 Founders’ Brunch Monday at the Marriott Newport Beach Hotel and Spa.

The former Notre Dame football coach, who now works as an ESPN college football analyst, is scheduled to speak about his wife’s battle with squamous cell throat cancer. She is a 10-year survivor.

The Circle 1000 Founders’ Brunch hosts its one event per year as a way for people to donate directly to the Hoag Cancer Center without having to belong to committees or attend meetings. For more information call (949) 764-7200.
