SUPPORT THE MISSION
At Signature Chefs Auction, our guests will learn about the journey of a very special little boy. Waylon is the adopted son of Dan and Lindsey Jenkins. He was born 17 weeks early (at 23 weeks gestation), weighing just 1 pound, 3 ounces. Waylon's chance of surviving was around 3.5%.
In the NICU he met, and was cared for, by a passionate and loving nurse who would one day become his mom. Against all odds, Waylon grew healthier and stronger each Dan and Lindsey are forever grateful for the expertise of the neonatologists, the loving care of the NICU staff and the March of Dimes research that saved Waylon’s life. According to Lindsey, “The March of Dimes gave our son the breath of life. Without the surfactant treatments developed by the March of Dimes, his tiny lungs would not have had the ability to sustain life - even on life support!”
The March of Dimes is dedicated to healthy pregnancies and to giving every baby a healthy start but the key ingredient is you!
