We are so grateful to Dominique for her support; it makes a huge difference and helps us raise much-needed funds to address the health crisis moms and babies are facing in our country. <span class=\"xn-location\">The United States<\/span> is the most dangerous developed nation in which to give birth. Pregnancy-related death has more than doubled over the past 25 years.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p><span class=\"xn-location\">The United States<\/span> is in the midst of a maternal and child health crisis with more than more than 50,000 women experiencing life-threatening complications as a result of pregnancy and childbirth and 380,000 babies born prematurely each year. Chronic inequities and unequal access to quality health care have a negative impact on these rates. For example, these are among the factors that contribute to the reality that women of color are up to 50 percent more likely to deliver prematurely and their children can face a 130 percent higher infant death rate compared to children of white women. March of Dimes is working in communities across the country to reduce the rising rates of premature birth, as well as maternal mortality and morbidity. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These disparities are unjust and unacceptable,&#8221; says <span class=\"xn-person\">Tim Duffy<\/span>, Co-President Ugly Brother Studios and co-chair of the Los Angeles Signature Chefs Auction. &#8220;We are raising funds to help March of Dimes tackle these urgent health issues and work to level the playing field so that all moms and babies are healthy through pioneering research, advocating for policies at the national, state and local level\u00a0and\u00a0to empower families with programs, knowledge and tools to have healthier pregnancies.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I am delighted to be part of this incredible evening to help raise funds for this important organization that supports women before, during and after pregnancy to ensure all moms and babies are healthy,&#8221; says <span class=\"xn-person\">Aarti Sequeira<\/span>, award-winning journalist\/producer and Food Network celebrity chef. &#8220;I support the work March of Dimes is doing to create a space for us to share our stories about the less than savory side of parenting \u2013 from postpartum depression to loss to the day-to-day struggles to be a mom and being a mom.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are grateful to work with these talented chefs who are artists, innovators and philanthropists,&#8221; says <span class=\"xn-person\">Amy Dittmore<\/span>, Senior Development Manager for March of Dimes Greater Los Angeles. &#8220;This exclusive evening is a great opportunity to experience the carefully curated menu designed to taste the diverse epicurean talent in <span class=\"xn-location\">Los Angeles<\/span>, while celebrating and supporting this great cause.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Twelve of <span class=\"xn-location\">Los Angeles&#8217;s<\/span> most innovative chefs are bringing their passion\u00a0to this year&#8217;s Signature Chefs Auction: Chef <span class=\"xn-person\">Holly Jivin<\/span> of Bazaar by <span class=\"xn-person\">Jose Andres<\/span>; Chef <span class=\"xn-person\">Travis Strickland<\/span> of Baltaire; Chef <span class=\"xn-person\">Nyesha Arrington<\/span> &#8212; new restaurant opening soon; Chef <span class=\"xn-person\">Evan Funke<\/span> &#8212; Felix Trattoria; Chef <span class=\"xn-person\">Curtis Stone\u00a0&#8212;\u00a0Gwen<\/span>; Chef <span class=\"xn-person\">Timothy Hollingsworth\u00a0<\/span>&#8212; Otium; Chef <span class=\"xn-person\">Nancy Silverton<\/span> \u00a0&#8212; Mozza,chi Spacca; Chef <span class=\"xn-person\">Sang Yoon\u00a0<\/span>&#8212; Lukshon; Chef Sushi Nozawa &#8212; Kazunori by Sushi Nozawa; Chef <span class=\"xn-person\">Kuniko Yagi\u00a0<\/span>&#8212; Pikunico; Chef <span class=\"xn-person\">Phillip Frankland Lee<\/span> &#8212; Scratch Bar and Kitchen; Chef <span class=\"xn-person\">Jason Neroni<\/span> &#8212; The Rose Venice; Chef <span class=\"xn-person\">Raphael Francois\u00a0<\/span>&#8212; Tesse; Chef <span class=\"xn-person\">Brian Dunsmoor<\/span> &#8212; Hatchell Hall; Chef <span class=\"xn-person\">Jonathan Aviles\u00a0<\/span>&#8212; Salazar.<\/p>\n<p>The evening begins at <span class=\"xn-chron\">6:00 p.m.<\/span> with an extraordinary tasting of the most desirable cuisine, prepared and served by culinary masters from top local establishments, followed by a seated dessert program and a rousing live auction, offering an opportunity to bid on insider packages and unique experiences. <span class=\"xn-person\">Billy Harris<\/span> returns as auctioneer.
