EVENT DETAILS

Join us for the 2018 March of Dimes Signature Chefs, a benefit for babies, an event to raise funds for the campaign to end prematurity. The event is a culinary showcase, featuring the South Bay’s top culinary masters. This rare opportunity is made possible by participating chefs graciously donating their time and talent to create a unique food experience. Each tasting is thoughtfully created to tantalize the palette of even the savviest “foodie” and highlight the chef’s unique and exceptional talents. Amidst a lively party atmosphere and exciting entertainment, guests will enjoy exquisite cuisine, spirited cocktails and enticing auction packages.

SUPPORT THE MISSION

1 in 12 babies in San Jose will be born premature. Prematurity is one of the most significant health threats to moms and babies today, the leading cause of death amongst newborns, and the leading cause of lasting childhood disabilities. In California, March of Dimes is currently funding 26 research grants totaling more than $6 million, and is committed to finding the cause and prevention of preterm birth. You can help fight premature birth by making an 100% tax deductible donation at the event or click here to make your donation today.
