EVENT DETAILS

Lead Chef: Jon Schilling, Executive Chef, Baylor Club
2016 Ambassador Family: Nick and Rachel Florence

Join us for the 2016 March of Dimes Signature Chefs, a benefit for babies, an event to raise funds for the campaign to end prematurity. The event is a culinary showcase, featuring Waco, Temple and Killeen’s top culinary masters. This rare opportunity is made possible by participating chefs graciously donating their time and talent to create a food experience beyond any available at a single location. Each tasting is thoughtfully created to tantalize the palette of even the savviest “foodie” and highlight the chef’s unique and exceptional talents. Amidst a lively part atmosphere and exciting entertainment, guests will enjoy exquisite cuisine, spirited cocktails and auction packages. 

SUPPORT THE MISSION

1 in 10 babies in Texas will be born premature. Prematurity is one of the most significant health threats to moms and babies today, it is the leading cause of death amongst newborns, and the leading cause of lasting childhood disabilities. Preventing premature birth could mean an annual savings of $149 million in health and societal costs. The March of Dimes is committed to finding the cause and prevention of preterm birth.

The Florence family was directly impacted by the March of Dimes when their little girl, Ella Kate was born prematurely at 29 weeks and endured an 8 ½ week journey in the NICU. Today, Ella Kate is 8 months old and weighs 13 pounds! The Florence family invites you to join them in supporting the March of Dimes. They give in honor of Ella Kate. They give in honor of all the babies that have been born too soon. They give to help find a cure for premature birth for all the babies that have yet to be born. They give because we all have the chance to be “brave and strong” for all the babies that need us to fight for them.
