“Let’s Glow” at this year’s AutoGlow! This black tie event, held the evening of Friday, September 15 at Ford Field, begins before the NAIAS Charity Preview, offering guests drinks and hors d’oeuvres before hopping aboard private shuttles to the Preview at Huntington Place Convention Center. After enjoying the Charity Preview, guests are shuttled back to Ford Field to enjoy the after-party of food, music, and dancing!
Please note, volunteers are asked to join us in BLACK TIE attire (suit & tie/tuxedo/evening dress) to create a magical and memorable night for our guests; volunteers will be provided a meal during the event.

- Flexibility is Key! Managing events is all about flexibility. Things are always changing; event staff and volunteers need to roll with those changes to ensure event success. We appreciate your flexibility and willingness to help where needed.
We truly could not host this fundraising event without the support of our incredible volunteers. Thanks in advance for being a part of this fun night!
