We discussed the upcoming Annual Signature Chef’s Auction scheduled for Monday, October 28, 2019 beginning at 6:00 p.m. at the Charleston Marriott on Lee Street.
Experience the culinary excellence of West Virginia by sampling tastings from over 10 local Chefs, while perusing dazzling auction packages – to improve the health of all moms and babies.
Chef’s Dennis prepared a dish on our TV set and talked about why this event is so important to them.
Joanna discussed the importance of the event and the MOD mission which leads the fight for the health of all moms and babies. They believe that every baby deserves the best possible start. Unfortunately, not all babies get one. They are changing that.
For 80 years, March of Dimes has helped millions of babies survive and thrive. Now they are building on that legacy to level the playing field for all moms and babies, no matter their age, socio-economic background or demographics. They support moms throughout their pregnancy, even when everything doesn’t go according to plan. They advocate for policies that prioritize their health. They support radical improvements to the care they receive. And they pioneer research to find solutions to the biggest health threats to moms and babies.
