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.
Join us for our annual gathering of Traverse City’s finest culinary talent in support of the March of Dimes. Held at The Hagerty Center on Northwestern Michigan College campus, you will enjoy tasting the signature dishes of local chefs before taking your seats for the Live Auction and Fund the Mission. We encourage you to bid on one of our unique packages. Raise your paddle and give generously to save babies! 5:30 pm – 7:30 pm Cuisine Tasting and Silent Auction 7:30 pm Live Auction and Fund the Mission
At this year’s event, our featured Signature Chefs will be competing. Top Chef 2019, Best Taste, Best Presentation, Best Use of Michigan Products, and the People’s Choice Awards are all decided and awarded tonight. Judges come from a variety of culinary backgrounds such as education, media and hospitality. Competition judges are anonymous, and our guests will enjoy a taste of the competition dishes.
