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.
Thanks to the leadership of our volunteer committee members, we are honored to present this Signature Chefs event. After months of hard work, these volunteers have taken the event to new heights. The March of Dimes and the families we support are grateful for the generosity and effort of the team that made this evening possible.

This rare opportunity is made possible by participating chefs graciously donating their time and talent to create a food experience beyond any available at a single location in Brevard. Each tasting is thoughtfully created to tantalize the palette of even the savviest “foodie” and highlight the chef’s unique and exceptional talents.

The Mission of the March of Dimes is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality. As the leading volunteer health organization dedicated to saving babies our goal is to help all women have healthier babies. Premature birth is the leading killer of newborns and a major cause of long-term health problems. No one knows what causes half of all premature births, but scientific research is closing the gap. With your support we can work toward the day when every baby has a healthy start in life. No baby should begin life fighting to keep it. Help us fund the mission and the campaign to end prematurity! Please Join Our President’s Society Members: ($1,000+) David & Jacquelyn DeLoach Maria Henderson & William VanNortwick Dan & Allison Pierron Gregory & Kathy Stephens
