The 17th annual Signature Chefs Gala of DC provided fabulous tastings from over 20 leading chefs paired with wine from top local wineries and inventive cocktails. The March of Dimes celebrated 75 years of research, vaccines and breakthroughs to benefit babies. Emcee Leon Harris, Anchor/ABC7/WJLA-TV, urged “help those born too sick or too early.” Signature Chefs has raised $1 million for the cause since 1996. A live auction item with Signature Honorary Chef Jamie Leeds providing a private dining experience fetched $4,000.
