A snapshot from last year's First Look for Charity with the Chicago Auto Show
The First Look for Charity is the benevolent event of the Chicago Auto Show. The black-tie 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, beer and other refreshments. Since its inception in 1992, the event has raised over $40 million for numerous Chicago area charities and the causes they serve.
Franciscan Health Chicago Heights & Olympia Fields is fortunate to be one of the 18 charities to benefit annually. This year, the proceeds we receive will be used for charity care provided at both of our campuses.
