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!

Support the mission

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.

For the past 20 years, Houston’s culinary community, through the March of Dimes Signature Chefs and Wine Fest, has stepped up to the plate and raised more than $8 million in lifesaving funds to help give every baby a fighting chance. In honor of this special 20th Anniversary event, Signature Chefs will take you back to the Roaring 20’s. Join us and celebrate your inner flapper or gangster style, enjoy a variety of sumptuous fare created by 20+ of Houston’s top chefs, imbibe premium wines, craft beers, and creative cocktails. Signature Chefs is always one of the most fun events of the fall season and we want you to be the first to gain access before the coppers break-up the joint!   

Table sponsorships are available at $50,000, $25,000, and $15,000 for the Platinum level experience (upgraded wine service and dinner by the Culinary Honoree). A special opportunity to sponsor a Chef is available at $10,000 and a limited number of tables of ten are available for $5,000.

SUPPORT THE MISSION

1 in 8 babies in Houston are born prematurely each year. Prematurity is one of the most significant health threats to moms and babies today. It is the leading cause of death among newborns and the leading cause of lasting childhood disabilities. The March of Dimes is committed to finding the cause and prevention of preterm birth, and with your 100% tax deductible Fund the Mission gift you can help fund the research, education, and support to give every baby a fighting chance.

BECOME A SPONSOR

Through partnerships with companies, organizations and individuals, the March of Dimes is able to create unique moments for your clients, vendors and leadership teams. They participate in an exclusive dining event while supporting a critical cause. Sponsorship opportunities are available at a variety of levels for our Signature Chefs events, providing you with brand recognition, civic engagement and an exclusive client entertainment opportunity within the event. We look forward to working with you to discuss your partnership with the March of Dimes. Please contact our team William Tayar.
