2025 first look for charity
February 7, 2025 – McCormick Place – Chicago, IL
Join us for the Chicago Auto Show’s 2025 First Look for Charity! First Look For Charity stands as one of Chicago’s greatest one-day fundraisers, regularly generating more than $2.5 million for 18 area nonprofits, including the 100 Club of Illinois. Held at McCormick Place the evening before the Chicago Auto Show opens to the public, the event is anticipated by socialites and car buffs alike. Guests are treated to champagne, wine, soft drinks, elegant hors d’oeuvres, and desserts all while being the first to explore the annual edition of the nation’s largest auto show.
Tickets are $325 and black tie apparel is required.
The tax deductible portion of each 2025 First Look for Charity ticket is $268.
