March of Dimes - Signature Chef's Gala Volunteers Needed

Save to Favorites

March of Dimes is looking for amazing volunteers over the age of 21 years old to volunteer at our Signature Chefs Gala taking place on Sunday, October 1, 2017 from 1:00pm to 9:00pm at the Del Mar Racetrack.

The Signature Chefs Gala pays tribute to the culinary excellence of local chefs, mixologists and wineries in communities nationwide while raising funds to give every baby a healthy start. The event is geared towards individuals who enjoy fine dining, spirits, auctions and socializing. A sell-out crowd of San Diego's finest will join our efforts to raise funds to support the March of Dimes mission to ensure that every baby has a healthy start in life.

We are looking for 30 volunteers to assist from 1:00pm to 9:00pm. Individuals may work part of the time, or the whole time. The volunteer tasks would consist of:

1:00pm-3:00pm: Assist with Set up, including helping Chefs load in and set up their stations, setting up the tables, assisting with bar set up

3:30pm- 5:00pm: Escorting guests to their tables, Registration

4:00pm-6:00pm: Helping to clear trash during the tasting portion of the event, Silent Auction

6:00pm-8:00pm: Assist with checkout/closing Silent Auction, Live Auction

8:00pm-9:00pm: Clean up and assist chefs with load out of their supplies as needed

We ask that volunteers who are assisting with Set up and Clean up wear appropriate clothing to do so, and all volunteers present during the event (3:00pm-8:00pm) wear more formal attire (Ladies-Cocktail dresses, Men - Slacks and a dress shirt). We ask that the volunteers stay for the whole duration of set-up of the event, execution during the event and clean-up after the event. There will be a room for volunteers to keep a change of clothes and personal belongings.

Please contact Emma Santer at esanter@marchofdimes.org if interested.
