Annual Cobb Signature Chefs Auction Coming to Kennesaw

Staff Report

Cobb County’s most talented and exciting chefs will assemble their finest offerings to March of Dimes patrons at the Marietta Country Club on Thursday, October 15, 2015, at 6:30 PM, all to benefit moms, babies, and families right here in our community.

The March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction pays tribute to the culinary excellence of many of our top local chefs, who will present their sumptuous signature dishes. Chefs Micah and Katie Pfister of local favorites, The Butcher The Baker and WR Social House, will serve as Lead Chefs for this year’s event. In addition to the delectable chef samplings, patrons will have the opportunity to bid on priceless auction items, including packages from several of the evening’s top chefs. Culinary samplings and silent auction bidding will begin promptly at 6:30pm, followed by the Evening Program and Live Auction at 8:00pm.

“This event offers a chance for our community to relax and enjoy some extraordinary food,” Rebecca Habermann, Executive Director for Metro Atlanta March of Dimes said. “At the end of the night, we have the satisfaction of knowing that our community is playing a part in reaching a day when all babies are born healthy and full-term.”

This year’s event is honoring Ali Neill Manning and Hannah Ayers Manning and proceeds from Signature Chefs Auction will benefit the March of Dimes campaign to reduce the rate of premature births, birth defects, and other serious threats to babies’ health.

More than half a million babies are born too soon each year. Georgia ranks among the states with the highest number of premature births, with over 317 babies born too soon each WEEK. That’s why local events like this are so important in supporting the March of Dimes efforts of helping babies to be born healthy.
