Still want to help us? FUND THE MISSION
All March of Dimes Signature Chefs events will be held virtually this year. While we may not be together in person, we rely on your continued support to provide innovative programs and services for moms, moms-to-be and babies who may be at a greater risk of becoming sick and not receiving proper or equitable care.
The chefs, volunteers and guests who make up our Signature Chefs Events community are coming together in new, innovative ways to suport moms and babies this year.
We are following state mandated guidelines in response to COVID-19 and will not have an in-person event this year. So, we are preparing an exciting, new Virtual Gala for your 2020 March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction experience!
We need your help now more than ever. Your support funds:
Every year, 15 million babies are born prematurely worldwide, and 1 million will die before their first birthday. Your gift helps the March of Dimes fund research, education, advocacy and programs that help more moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies.
Join us for an unforgettable evening of the best of the best with chefs from our top dining establishments serving their favorite dishes. Event Co-Chairs Dean and Monica Piccirillo invite you to attend the Southwest Coast Division Signature Chefs Auction as we proudly enter our 26th year. Our annual event is the original culinary showcase and one of the most exciting fundraisers in our area while featuring an elegant surrounding, sumptuous foods and wines for a truly unforgettable evening. The evening also serves up a silent and live auctions filled with one of kind opportunities.
The Mission of the March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. As the leading volunteer health organization dedicated to saving babies our goal is to help all women have healthier babies. Premature birth is the leading killer of newborns and a major cause of long-term health problems. No one knows what causes half of all premature births, but scientific research is closing the gap. With your support we can work toward the day when every baby has a healthy start in life. No baby should begin life fighting to keep it.
