ABOUT SIGNATURE CHEFS AUCTION
As we raise critical funds for all Mom and all Babies we are excited for a once in a lifetime event showcasing some of the city’s top chefs. March of Dimes’ black tie gala fundraiser, the Signature Chefs Auction pays tribute to the culinary excellence of prominent chefs while raising money to improve the health of babies. This evening of giving will truly be one to celebrate and we hope you can join us! During the tasting, we will have a small silent auction and then move into our Live Auction. On November 2, 2022 we will celebrate our local moms and babies with about 200 of Tampa’s philanthropic leaders and healthcare providers, at the Tastiest Gala in Town!
