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 our annual gathering of the area's finest culinary talent where you will experience tantalizing creations from Memphis’s best restaurants, along with fine wines for the most discriminating palates, amidst a lively party atmosphere with cocktails, entertainment, and fabulous and unique auction items. This year’s special night of giving supports our mission to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. We look forward to seeing you at this amazing event. As a sponsor of the Signature Chefs Auction, you will have the unique opportunity to join our executive audience of corporate community leaders and March of Dimes supporters. Your company will shine in the eyes of approximately 350 affluent society members and business professionals who come to support our mission while enjoying an evening of fine cuisine created by local celebrity chefs, flowing wine, spirits and exclusive, exciting custom-created auction packages. As our partner, you will be able to host your top employees and clients at the Signature Chefs Auction, receive recognition as a valued partner of the March of Dimes and align your organization with a worthy cause—helping mothers have full-term births and healthy babies.
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 Development Manager Kristin Davidson at (901) 800-0344.
