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.
2016 marks the 20th annual March of Dimes Mankato Signature Chefs Auction. The event includes a social gathering showcasing unique local cuisine and tastings, special entertainment by Betty & Ocho, along with a silent and live auction. New to the live auction this year is a Private Fly-Over of the Kiwanis Holiday Lights donated by Kyle Smith of Tailwind Group. TJ & Lisa will be on hand as Emcee’s. Familiar voices to many, they have worked together for more than 16 years weekday mornings on Minnesota 93-KATO FM and are the longest-running morning show team in the Mankato market.
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. Co-Chairs Mindy Annis, Pioneer Bank Julie Vetter, Community Bank 2017 Event Chair – Nathan Christensen Sponsorships – Jodi Schull, Chelsea Breza-Brandt Auction Committee – Katie Beadell, Candi Leary Décor – Kay Beadell-Schultz, Cheryl Kietzer Media – Jo Guck Bailey
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.
Through partnerships with companies, organizations and individuals, the March of Dimes is able to create unique moments for your clients, vendors and leadership teams. They participate in an exclusive dining event while supporting a critical cause. Sponsorship opportunities are available at a variety of levels for our Signature Chefs events, providing you with brand recognition, civic engagement and an exclusive client entertainment opportunity within the event. We look forward to working with you to discuss your partnership with the March of Dimes. For more information, please contact June Howard at 507-990-8624.
