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.

Event description

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:

  • COVID-19 interventions and support for moms and babies
  • Programs that promote health equity for moms and babies and directly combat racial disparities in maternal and child health
  • Free virtual NICU support program for families
  • Virtual prenatal programs for moms-to-be
  • Educational programs, including live Facebook panel discussions, to get info into the hands of moms and families
  • Necessary supplies for expectant mothers including blood pressure cuffs and masks and so much more!

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.

Award-winning executive chef Ben Lloyd of The Salted Slate will lead an evening of culinary excellence at the 2017 March for Babies Signature Chefs Auction
 
Chef Ben Lloyd studied Biology and Philosophy at the University of Scranton and then moved to Boston and began cooking at the Pillar House in Newton.  After a year of cooking he attended culinary school at the New England Culinary Institute in Vermont.  He left school with his first Sous Chef position in Raleigh NC.  He moved to RI in 2002 from Raleigh and was with the Chow Fun Food Group from 2003 - 2011 running XO Café, XO Steakhouse and Café Noir.  He then ran Tazza after its transformation from 2011 - 2014.  He and his wife Nicole then opened The Salted Slate in mid-July of 2014.  They focus on whole animal purchasing and utilization from our partner farmers in the area.
