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 our annual gathering of the area’s finest culinary talent in support of the March of Dimes. Upon arrival, you will enjoy the chance to sample our chefs’ creations for a 90-minute tasting experience before taking your seat for the Live Auction and Fund the Mission. Enjoy dessert while you bid on our unique packages, raising your paddle and giving generously to help babies.
Thanks to the leadership of our volunteer co-chairs Gwen and Taylor Parker, we are honored to present the Signature Chefs event. Through months of support, these volunteers have taken the event to new heights. The March of Dimes and the families we support are grateful for the generous team who has made this evening possible.

The March of Dimes is proud to feature the No Foot Too Small Community as our spotlight story. Robin & Ryan Boudreau and Katie & Brett Stedman will share their stories of Beau, Payton, and Patrick to shed light on infant and pregnancy loss. Together with the March of Dimes, we hope to raise essential funds that could one day possibly prevent stillbirth, birth defects, and miscarriage.
