Editor’s Note / We first attended First Look for Charity in 1994 when the March of Dimes was among the Chicago area charities to be supported by the benefit. Since then, we’ve attended “First Look for Charity” numerous times. (To meet special qualifications, First Look sometimes changes its beneficiaries in order to reach a large variety of charitable missions over time.)
Car enthusiast or not, guests will enjoy champagne, wine, soft drinks, elegant hors d’oeuvres and desserts while being introduced to the latest models of cars with new technology, all in support of good causes including Turning Pointe Autism Foundation.  (Hint: Wear comfortable shoes.)
According the First Look for Charity website, since its debut in 1992, First Look for Charity has raised $42 million for significant Chicago area charities such as Boys & Girls Clubs of Chicago, JDRF and the Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago, among many more.
