Chicago Auto Show's First Look For Charity Gala Fundraiser Set For Feb. 11

CHICAGO (CBS) -- The Chicago Auto Show returns to McCormick Place in less than a month, and excitement is building.

A preview of the show's First Look For Charity night was held at Goose Island Thursday.

This year is the 30th anniversary of First Look, which has raised more than $56 million for local charities.

This year, 17 charities have been selected.

"The charities run a gamut from the Jesse White Tumblers to New Star, and also the Susan G. Komen for Breast Cancer Awareness. So these charities are definitely in need of any contributions that they cn raise, because they're doing more in these times than typical times,"Jason Roberts Chairman First Look For Charity

Tickets for First Look are still available on the Auto Show website.
