It has become a rich tradition on the National MS Society’s winter event calendar. Since 1994, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society-Greater Illinois Chapter, has been among the beneficiaries of First Look for Charity, the Chicago Auto Show’s ‘must attend’ annual black-tie event at McCormick Place.
By joining us this year at First Look for Charity, the exclusive black-tie preview for the Chicago Auto Show, you will be making a significant contribution towards creating a world free of MS. One of Chicago’s largest single-day charity events, raising more than $2.5 million for 18 area non-profits, First Look for Charity provides attendees an elegant look at more than 1,000 new vehicles. Tickets are $225 per person, and by designating your ticket to benefit the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Greater Illinois Chapter, you are invited to a private, pre-event reception hosted by the Chapter. Download event flyer here.
On February 12, 2009, from 6:30-10:30 PM you and your guests will be able to view the best in new automotive design, enjoy hors d’oeuvres, champagne, wine, soft drinks and entertainment while strolling through the McCormick Place show floor. Guests attending this year’s event will also be entered to win one of two vehicles - a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro or a 2009 Kia Borrego.
In Illinois, there are 20,000 individuals who are living with MS. Join the Movement at this year’s First Look for Charity and help us continue to drive MS off the map.
