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.
Come celebrate the work and mission of the March of Dimes; our donors and volunteers; and - most importantly - the saved lives of babies and their improved health. The Signature Chefs Auction will be an evening of fun and passion that brings community and philanthropic leaders together. Last year, we raised just over $230,000 locally allowing us to fund life-saving research and prevention programs in our community. Sample the creations of the area's finest food and drink purveryors during a unique tasting experience before taking your seats for the Live Auction and Fund the Mission. Help give every baby a fighting chance. Our Mission To improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality.
2017 Pittsburgh Signature Chefs Auction Chair Matt Tokorcheck, Vice President, HR Strategy & Talent Acquisition - FedEx Ground Thanks to the leadership of our volunteer chairs and committees we are honored to present the Signature Chefs event. Through months of support these volunteers have taken the event to new heights. The March of Dimes and the families we support are grateful for the generous team who has made this evening possible.
Your generous support enables the March of Dimes to fund groundbreaking research that helps moms and babies. In our community, we aim to improve their health through: education on healthy pregnancy; prenatal care and other services; and support for families whose babies need specialized care in the NICU. As long as premature birth continues to be the nation’s No. 1 cause of death for babies before their first birthday, the importance of our work will only grow. Please consider making a gift to Fund the Mission.
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 event, 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 Kelsey Rhea at (412) 506-8609.
