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.
In the United States, a baby is born prematurely every minute and approximately 72 die each day before reaching their first birthday. In metropolitan Detroit, 1 in 5 babies are born too soon. Babies born even just a few weeks early are at risk for developmental delays and major medical problems. The March of Dimes funds research and programs that help women have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. With your support, we can give every baby a fighting chance.
Chefs Auction will be held on Thursday, October 12, 2017 at Eastern Market - Shed 5. The event showcases the abundance of metropolitan Detroit’s culinary excellence. Approximately 15 chefs from the area participate in this wonderful event, preparing samples of their signature dishes for over 350 people. The evening also offers a silent and live auction which feature truly unique packages such as imaginative dining experiences and one-of-a-kind travel.
