First Look Gala Expected to Raise $2 Million
Eighteen Chicago area charities will benefit from more than $2 million expected to be raised by a black-tie gala held in conjunction with the 2015 Chicago Auto Show in February. Now in its 24th year, First Look for Charity stands as one of the special events on the winter schedules of Chicago socialites and car buffs.
Benefactors at the charity gala will be treated to hors d’oeuvres; champagne, wine, beer and soft drinks; special entertainment across the show floor; and a chance to win a 2015 Ford Explorer or a 2015 Ford Fusion, both compliments of Ford Motor Co. & the Chicagoland Ford Dealers Association.
“The Chicago Auto Show is uniformly regarded as the finest auto show in the country, but the charitable cause demonstrates that this auto show is about more than just vehicles and accessories,” said John Webb, chairman of the 2015 show. “It’s also about giving something to the charities of our community.”
Tickets to the event are $250 each and can be ordered online at www.FirstLookforCharity.org or by telephone at (630) 495-2282. Of each ticket purchased, $199 is tax-deductible as a charitable expense.
