Corporate Packages

First Look for Charity, the benevolent event of the Chicago Auto Show, is big in its own right. It stands as one of the city’s largest single-day charity events, raising more than $60 million since 1992. Eighteen distinguished Chicago-area charities benefit from this event.

First Look for Charity appears prominently on the calendars of both socialites and car buffs. The tuxedo-mandatory affair enables participants to behold the nation’s largest auto show in grandeur, the evening before the show opens to the public, and indulge in a variety of hors d’oeuvres and champagne, wine and other refreshments.
