First Look for Charity Thursday, February 11, 2010 The word "big" comes to mind when you think about the Chicago Auto Show. It is the nation's largest auto show. Ditto when you think about First Look for Charity, the auto show's benevolent black-tie event. It is among Chicago's biggest single-day charity events. And at the next First Look for Charity, held the evening before the Chicago Auto Show opens to the public, one attendee will win big: a 2010 Chevrolet Equinox. But most importantly, your support of First Look for Charity can help Autism Speaks. First Look for Charity is an anticipated event among socialites and car buffs. The black-tie affair allows participants to stroll the show floor amid opulence not present during the public portion of the Chicago Auto Show. Abundant hors d'oeuvres, champagne, wine and soft drinks await those getting the first look at the more than 1,000 new vehicles – some on display for the first time anywhere – at the Chicago Auto Show. Tickets for this exclusive are on sale now. Click here to purchase tickets. Remember to select Autism Speaks as your beneficiary charity of choice. Chevy Equinox compliments of the Chicagoland & Northwest Indiana Chevy dealers. Vehicle winners must be present. Black-tie attire required! |
