FIRST LOOK FOR CHARITY IS ONE OF CHICAGO’S GREATEST ONE-DAY FUNDRAISERS, REGULARLY GENERATING MORE THAN $2.5 MILLION FOR 18 AREA NONPROFITS, INCLUDING CATHOLIC CHARITIES, DIOCESE OF JOLIET.

First Look for Charity is a wonderful opportunity to get a “first look” at the nation’s largest auto show! As you stroll through the Auto Show, enjoy delicious food and beverages provided by more than 20 local restaurants (all complimentary). Live entertainment will also be provided throughout the event. Attendees even have a chance to win a new car!   

When you designate Catholic Charities, Diocese of Joliet to receive the proceeds from your ticket(s), please know that you are helping to shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, counsel the struggling, and protect the elderly. We are so grateful for your support, particularly during these difficult times. Thank you for your consideration and we hope to see you at First Look for Charity 2024!
