It is that time of year again! Sertoma Star Services is proud to be one of 18 organizations benefiting from the 2026 First Look for Charity event and we invite you to join us for this one-of-a-kind fundraiser.
First Look for Charity is a black-tie event hosted by the Chicago Automobile Trade Association that is held the day before the Chicago Auto Show opens to the public, allowing guests a “First Look” at the nation’s largest auto show.
The event is our largest fundraiser, and we would be honored if you joined us.
At 5:30 p.m., our guests are invited to our pre-event Hospitality Suite for cocktails and appetizers. At 7:00 p.m., the main event opens where you will enjoy an elegant evening strolling the showroom floor complete with food, beverages, live bands, and a chance to win a 2026 Chevrolet Equinox.
All proceeds raised through Sertoma Star Services ticket purchases will go directly to Sertoma Star Services and help the children and adults we serve throughout the south suburbs and northwest Indiana whose lives are impacted by mild to profound disabilities and those living with mental illness.
