The Signature Chef Auction is a benefit for babies, an event to raise funds for the campaign to end prematurity. The event is a culinary showcase, featuring top culinary masters. This rare opportunity is made possible by participating chefs graciously donating their time and talent to create a food experience beyond any available in Kansas City. 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 exiting entertainment, guests will enjoy exquisite cuisine, spirited cocktails and enticing raffle and auction packages.
