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 the 7th annual Signature Chefs Auction, benefiting March of Dimes. This tasteful affair has the basic ingredients for an evening of charitable indulgence: samplings of signature dishes from the Phoenix-area's finest chefs, exceptional packages up for bid in two exciting auction settings and an opportunity to further the cause through Fund the Mission.
Every year in Arizona, nearly 10,000 babies are born prematurely and nearly 2,600 babies are born with a birth defect. Premature birth and birth defects are the leading causes of newborn death. Give a gift at the Signature Chefs Auction and help fund hope for the future. Through programs, research, education and support we can work to ensure more babies celebrate their first birthday.
March of Dimes and the families we support are grateful for the leadership and generosity of the 2015 Signature Chefs Auction Committee. It is with the dedication of their time, talent and resources that this event is possible.
Signature Chefs events feature local culinary talent who create a selection of fine cuisine for an exclusive audience. Our chefs are artists, innovators and philanthropists, and we look forward to sharing their talents at the event.
