Chicago Auto Show's First Look For Charity February 9, 2012

The Chicago Auto Show’s First Look for Charity returns to McCormick Place on Thursday, February 9 from 6:30 – 10:30 p.m.

The black-tie gala has generated more than $32 million for charities since its inception in 1992. This year, 18 significant Chicago area charities will benefit from the $2 million expected to be raised.

The soiree provides thousands of guests an elegant, inaugural look at the annual Chicago Auto Show, which will boast more than 1,000 new vehicles—dozens on display for the first time anywhere. Those in attendance also will have a chance to win two new vehicles: a 2012 Cadillac Escalade and a 2012 Cadillac SRX, both compliments of Your Chicagoland and Northwest Indiana Cadillac Dealers.

Rock band Blues Traveler will enliven the show floor, as singer/harmonicist John Popper leads the quintet known for its extended jamming style in live performances.

Food provided by Garrett Popcorn Shops, Real Urban Barbecue, David Burke's Primehouse, Wildfire, and many more.

Tickets are $250 and tuxedo attire is mandatory. For more information, including the complete list of charities and to purchase tickets, visit www.FirstLookForCharity.org.
