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 this cocktail reception and tasting competition featuring top local culinary talent. Every guest will have the opportunity to vote for our People's Choice award.

The evening will celebrate the important work of the March of Dimes -- giving every baby a fighting chance. 6:30 p.m. - Cocktails & Tasting | 7:00 p.m. - Chef Presentations CELEBRITY JUDGES - Travis Mohlenbrink, Restaurateur - Kelly Nierstedt, President, Children's Hospital of Illinois - Gary Roberts, President, Bradley University - Laurie Weaver
