OLYMPIA FIELDS, IL – January 4, 2011 The Franciscan Alliance Foundation, St. James Health announced today it will, once again, participate in the annual Chicago Auto Show First Look For Charity, on Thursday, February 9, 2012, at McCormick Place.
First Look for Charity is the benevolent black-tie event held the evening before the Chicago Auto Show opens to the public. The event annually raises approximately $2 million for 18 Chicago area charities. Franciscan St. James Health is among those 18 charities.
This is the third of a nine-year commitment that the Chicago Auto Show has made to Franciscan St. James.
“We are grateful to Dennis Bauer, of Arnie Bauer Cadillac Buick GMC, for bringing this opportunity to St. James,” said Michael Bruni, St. James vice president of external affairs. “It has raised significant resources for technology advancements to better serve our patients in the south and southwest suburbs.”
Rock band, Blues Traveler will enliven the show floor brimming with 1,000 new vehicles, some on display for the first time ever. Singer/harmonicist John Popper leads the quintet known for his extended jamming style in live performances. The band’s best-known single, “Run-Around,” is Billboard magazine’s all-time longest-charting radio single.
To top it all off, two attendees will win the keys to a 2012 Cadillac Escalade and a 2012 Cadillac SRX. Guests will enjoy abundant hors d’oeuvres, champagne, wine, soft drinks and desserts at the nation’s largest auto show.
