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.
Every year more than 15 million babies are born prematurely; a million will die before their first birthday as a result. With your gift at Signature Chefs to the March of Dimes, you can help to fund the research, education, and support to ensure more babies celebrate their birthday. "My three boys were born on a typical spring day. The thing is, we weren't expecting them until summer. It was two days before my husband's birthday. Ten weeks or more before they should have been born. They lived only a few hours. But they were loved every second." -- Dani Maxwell, WKOW 27 Watch the mission video HERE. Support us on CrowdRise.
Indulge yourself in a taste of Madison in support of the March of Dimes. You will savor an evening of creative local cuisine and fine spirits for a 90-minute tasting experience before taking your seats for the Live Auction and Fund the Mission. Enjoy the sheer excitement while you bid on unique packages and raise your paddle and give generously to give every baby a fighting chance.
