Still want to help us? FUND THE MISSION
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.
The March of Dimes is honored to pay tribute to the nursing profession by recognizing extraordinary nurses throughout the community. Nurse of the Year events honor those who make a difference in the lives of so many. 2017 Nominations open April 1st thru June 16th. Nominate a Nurse Today!
The March of Dimes will honor nurses who exemplify an extraordinary level of patient care, compassion and customer service at its 6th Annual Nurse of the Year. Exceptional nurses employed in the state of Missouri and Illinois counties of Jersey, Madison, St. Clair, Clinton, Monroe and Randolph are eligible. A selection committee of healthcare professionals will review the confidential nomination forms. About 20 nurses will be honored at a special awards gala on November 18, 2017. More information about the event including the Event Fact Sheet, Get Invoved Packet and Award Categories for Nurse of the Year will be available online shortly.

Whether serving as health care provider, educator, researcher, chapter volunteer and/or advisor – nurses play a critical role in advancing the mission of the March of Dimes: to improve the health of all babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. The Nurse of the Year initiative supports this mission while recognizing exceptional nurses throughout the state and celebrating the profession. Honor a nurse, or group of nurses, through a TRIBUTE GIFT.
