According to 2015 March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction Dallas Events Co-Chairs Sunie Solomon and Amy Turner,
“You may not know it, but if you were born in the United States in the last 77 years, you share something special with millions of Americans. You are a March of Dimes baby.
“This incredible organization has touched the lives of countless children. For example, if your mother took folic acid during pregnancy, then you are a March of Dimes baby. If you were you born healthy at 39 weeks, had a heel prick newborn screening or were given an APGAR score to evaluate how you were doing at birth, you are a March of Dimes baby. And if you don’t have polio, you are, without a doubt, a March of Dimes Baby.
“Now is your chance to give back, and fight for little ones who can’t fight for themselves. March of Dimes is working relentlessly to end prematurity, which affects 1 in 8 North Texas babies, including some who will not survive.
“Together, we can help every baby. Right now.
“With your support, the March of Dimes can – and will – find the answers and save the lives of our most fragile. There’s hope in our numbers, and we all deserve a chance at a healthy, happy life. Your donations fund the research that makes that hope a reality.
“There are two things we all have in common – we can’t pass up great food and we are all March of Dimes babies.
“Join us at the 2015 March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction Dallas Presented by Nancy C. and Richard R. Rogers and Mary Kay Inc. on October 22 at the Omni Dallas Hotel.

“We also have the privilege of honoring Diane and Hal Brierley with the Dr. Leonard and Pauline Graivier Giving Each Child a Healthy Start in Life Award for their work in advancing the March of Dimes mission of improving the health of babies for more than 10 years.
