CHICAGO AUTO SHOW’S FIRST LOOK
McCormick Place attracted nearly 9,500 black-tie-clad guests to this year’s Chicago Auto Show First Look for Charity Gala. Ticketholders elected to have their proceeds either equally beneft all 18 participating charities—Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, Special Olympics Illinois and The Cradle Foundation, to name just a few—or be devoted to one charity of their choosing. In addition to previewing the latest models, including the 2015 Rolls-Royce Wraith, two lucky attendees went home with a new car: a Ford Explorer or a Ford Fusion. Te event raised more than $2.5 million for the charities’ causes. –JVK
