Strolling for the March of Dimes

This past weekend we attended a wonderful event for a great cause...The 9th Annual Great Chefs Dinner to benefit the March of Dimes. This charity is near and dear to our hearts. We donate 10% of our profits through our program Comfort For The Cure. The event took place at the Chatham Bars Inn in Chatham, MA. The evening started out with a silent auction with hors d'oeuvres and champaign. We donated one of our Winter Strollie blankets to the silent auction. After the silent auction ended, everyone strolled over to their table into grand dining room where there was a 5 course meal prepared by various chefs throughout the country. To our surprise, the couple that won our Strollie blanket were sitting at our table for dinner. They bid on it for their new granddaughter. There was a live auction that took place throughout the dinner, and several vacations were auctioned off to raise money. This event has raised over $400,000 for the March of Dimes. We can't wait until next year's event.
