Nourishing Change: Supporting March of Dimes at the Signature Chefs Auction

A strong community starts with strong families—and at the ATI Foundation, we know that supporting maternal and infant health is essential to building a brighter, more resilient future.

That’s why we were proud to support the March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction, an evening that brought together top culinary talent, generous donors, and mission-driven advocates for a powerful cause: improving the health and well-being of mothers and babies across the region.

The event combined Charleston’s vibrant food culture with March of Dimes’ critical work in maternal health equity, NICU family support, and research-driven care. It was more than a fundraiser—it was a celebration of community commitment and shared purpose.

As a supporter of this initiative, the ATI Foundation stands behind March of Dimes’ mission to ensure every baby gets the best possible start. Our work may be centered on workforce development, but we know that healthy beginnings lay the groundwork for strong futures—in school, at work, and in life.

“Investing in family health isn’t just the right thing to do—it’s a smart step toward stronger communities and a stronger workforce,” said Dolly Pelto, Executive Director of the ATI Foundation.

We're honored to be part of this movement and to back organizations that are building more than programs—they’re building futures.
