AutoGlow, presented by Ford Motor Company, returned to the Ford Field atrium on Friday, September 15 to raise funds for The Children’s Center. More than 500 guests enjoyed the North American International Auto Show Charity Preview post-event celebration in the familiar confines of the St. Antoine concourse of the stadium.
“This year’s AutoGlow, my first as CEO of The Childrens’ Center, was a stylish and fun way to celebrate and support the work for the 3,500-plus children and their families,” said Nicole Wells Stallworth, President and CEO of The Children’s Center. “We cannot thank enough all the amazing individuals and organizations who purchased tickets or sponsored, as each contribution impacts our ability to provide quality programs, supports, and services to help those who have endured some of the toughest circumstances.”
The annual AutoGlow event has continued with the gracious support of hosts Lisa and Bill Ford and Lia and Jim Farley of Ford Motor Company. The Ford family has embraced The Children’s Center as one of their charities of choice since it was founded in 1929. Ford Motor Company has served as Presenting Sponsor of AutoGlow since the event’s inception.
This year’s AutoGlow theme was “Let’s Glow.” Guests returned from Charity Preview to a bright wonderland of neon hues, live music from the soulful Blue Water Kings and the playful fun of Detroit Circus’ aerialist and strolling entertainers, jugglers, and skaters. Back by popular demand, DJ Prevu spun tunes that kept the dance floor full. Thanks to the generosity of Delta Air Lines, raffle winning guests took home travel vouchers for flights.
Joining Presenting Sponsor Ford Motor Company were Shining Sponsors WPP and BASF and Radiant Sponsors Delta Airlines and Piston Group. Additional sponsors included Venue Sponsor Ford Field, Exclusive Magazine Sponsor HOUR Magazine, and in-kind Food & Beverage Sponsor Levy Restaurants.
