Ford Motor Company returns as the Presenting Sponsor of AutoGlow, building upon 85 years of support for The Children’s Center. The event is hosted by Lisa and Bill Ford and, for the first time, Jane and Mark Fields.

Held at Detroit's Ford Field, this year's theme - The Future Starts Here - will take guests on a journey into the future, featuring a taste of edgy elegance and first-class amenities, including delicious food highlighting upcoming trends, live entertainment and dancing. A pre-event reception, complimentary valet parking, and private transportation service between AutoGlow at Ford Field, NAIAS Charity Preview at Cobo Center, and the Westin Book Cadillac are included as part of the evening’s features. AutoGlow guests can also purchase raffle tickets for a chance to win one of two sets of a pair of round-trip Business Elite tickets from the U.S. to Europe.

For the first time in its 20+ year history, the party extends to 1 a.m., with the pre-reception taking place from 4:30 - 7:00 p.m. and the main celebration from 8:30 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. Continuous shuttles to and from the NAIAS Charity Preview for AutoGlow guests will be available.
