Guests including some ‘Real Housewives’ gathered in Chicago last Friday to raise a glass to The View co-host Jenny McCarthy and her national nonprofit, Generation Rescue, which supports families touched by autism.

Chicago’s blonde bombshell, whose son Evan has recovered from autism, came back to her hometown from NYC to host her charity’s 7th annual event, Rescue Our Angels, and raise awareness and funds for the cause.

The exclusive VIP party at VenueOne in Chicago hosted a number of famous faces including Jacqueline and Chris Laurita from ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey.’

 Newly engaged McCarthy was bursting with pride when her son, Evan, confidently took the stage – looking all grown up in a blazer and button-down – and made the evening’s most important introduction: that of event founders Michele and Pete Doyle.
