The 2018 North American International Auto Show Charity Preview is a slam dunk for local children's charity, with officials saying it raised $5.1 million dollars this year.

Officials say over 13,000 people attended the black-tie gala, which raised money for children's charities, including:

Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan

Officials say the Charity Preview has raised nearly $118 million for southeastern Michigan children's charities since it was established by the Detroit Auto Dealers Association 42 years ago.
