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 Toledo’s Signature Chefs Auction, which will showcase the culinary talents of local chefs and restaurants while raising money to support the March of Dimes mission to improve the health of babies by preventing premature birth, birth defects, and infant mortality. The evening is filled with unforgettable menu items, wine pairings, and bidding on a unique assortment of live and silent auction packages. Tastings and bidding on silent auction items begins at 5:30PM until 7:30PM. The program, which includes the live auction and Fund the Mission, begins promptly after the silent auction tables close at 7:30PM. Check-out will open at 8:45PM as the live auction concludes.
Every year more than 15 million babies are born prematurely; a million will die before their first birthday as a result. With your gift at Signature Chefs to the March of Dimes, you can help to fund the research, education, and support to ensure more babies celebrate their birthday.Both Signature Chefs Auction guests and supporters who are unable to attend the event are invited to Fund the Mission: an opportunity to make a donation directly to the March of Dimes. Each gift is 100% tax deductible and helps the March of Dimes carry out it's mission through research, advocacy, community programs, and professional education on the local, state, and national levels. Those interested in funding the mission have several options when donating by mail, phone, or in-person at the event.
