Chicago Motor Cars’ incredible multi-million dollar selection of high-end luxury cars and motorcycles will

Proceeds from the exceptional selection of auction items and a suggested donation at the door of $40 per person will go to the Academy. Members of Chicago’s Lamborghini Car Club will
also participate in the celebration, set for Thursday, April 19, and hosted by Chicago Motor Cars’ owners, Parin Shah and Frank Sacco. The event runs from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.
