EVENT DETAILS

The Ann Arbor Signature Chefs Auction is an evening of world-class cuisine from the area’s most prominent chefs. Celebrating eleven years of presenting our guests with the best of the best in the culinary arts and one-of-a-kind auction experiences, the 2018 event will be adding even more unique touches to make the evening a truly memorable one. More than 350 business industry leaders, community philanthropists and many of the top socially responsible corporations in Washtenaw County attend each year. 

Event proceeds will support the March of Dimes, the leading non-profit organization for maternal and infant health and its ongoing work to help all babies get a healthy start in life.

SUPPORT THE MISSION

We help moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies. If something goes wrong, we offer information and comfort to families. We research the problems that threaten our babies and work on preventing them.

With your help we will continue to support services for thousands of pregnant women and families. Our local grantees include the Corner Health Center in Ypsilanti and the University of Michigan Medical School to name a few.

Every baby is born to do something great. Thanks to you, they can be born strong and healthy.

Your Fund the Mission Gift at Signature Chefs will help us move closer to our goal of saving babies from being born too soon or with a birth defect.
