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.
The March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction is an event that pays tribute to the culinary excellence of local chefs, wineries, and caterers. This year’s event will pair local farmers with local chefs to create a delectable farm-to-table experience. Renown Central New York chefs will present their signature dishes, fine wines, beer and spirits will be sampled, and one-of-a-kind live and silent packages will be auctioned.
Event Co-Chairs: Tanya Mazurkiewicz and Anna Tilley of BNY Mellon Live Auction Chair: Timothy Barnhart – Managing Director, Northwestern Mutual Thanks to the leadership of our volunteer chairs and committee members, we are honored to present this Signature Chefs event. After months of hard work, these volunteers have taken the event to new heights. The March of Dimes and the families we support are grateful for the generosity and effort of the team that made this evening possible.
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. This is a 100% tax deductible gift and can be pledged prior to, the night of, or after the event. This year we will meet the Conde Family and learn about Charlie’s fight.
