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.
The Signature Chef Auction is one of Lafayette's premiere events. This year's event we are honored to have Mrs. Ann Knight of Knight Oil Tools as our Honoree, along with Miss Amy Thomas our 2016 Ambassador. This event features Chefs from Acadiana's finest establishments offering gourmet foods and wines. The Auction features trips, jewelry, and an array of goodies that you and everyone want. The Food is decadent, the libations will flow. The Auction is fast and furious. Make your plans to attend - you don't want to miss it!
Join us for an unforgetable evening, meet our sweet Ambassador, Amy Thomas. Amy will steal your heart. She weighed 1.9 lbs. at birth and is now almost 4, with lots of sass! 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. Every year more than 15 million babies are born prematurely; a million will die before their first birthday as a result. Your gift is 100% tax deductible as every penny is going to the mission of March of Dimes.
Signature Chefs events feature local culinary talent who create a selection of fine cuisine for an exclusive audience. Our chefs are artists, innovators and philanthropists, and we look forward to sharing their talents at the event.
