On Thursday, October 22 at the Hyatt Regency Chesapeake Bay in Cambridge, top chefs will offer Delmarva diners an opportunity to enjoy a great night out while raising funds, making friends and increasing awareness of the March of Dimes mission to improve the health of babies.
In addition to sampling signature dishes, guests will be able to bid on many unique auction items graciously donated by various businesses.
“What better way to enjoy a wonderful meal than by supporting the March of Dimes mission and working together for stronger, healthier babies, right here on the Eastern Shore,” said Dr. Betty Malkus, 2015 Event Chair.
Funds raised by Signature Chefs Auction support lifesaving research and educational programs on the Eastern Shore, such as the Storks Nest in Cambridge.
Premature birth is the most serious infant health problem in the United States today. It affects 450,000 babies nationwide each year, with over 400 in our community. Babies born too soon are more likely to die or have lifelong disabilities. The March of Dimes is committed to reversing this trend by funding research to find the causes of premature birth and developing strategies to prevent it. Guests will hear first-hand the impact the March of Dimes has had on the lives of the West family from Bishopville, MD.
Individual tickets and table sponsorships are available and include tastings from top chefs and an open bar. For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit www.marchofdimes.org/ChefsES.
