Hundreds came out Saturday night in support of finding a cure for epilepsy.

The fundraising event Lily?s Luau was held this weekend at the University of Wisconsin-Madison's Memorial Union.

Organizers said efforts to fight the disease are underfunded while the need remains great, with one in 26 people at risk to experience a seizure or develop epilepsy.

"We have about 500 people joining us tonight for our fourth annual Lily's Luau,? said organizer Dave Giroux. "All of the money raised tonight will support research right here at the UW-Madison."

The event was hosted by WISC-TV's Sarah Carlson and Charlotte Deleste.
