We focus on helping our clients achieve their goals. And we proudly donate our expertise to events and groups in our community where we can truly help. Most recently, the SimmonsFlint team produced materials promoting the very first Signature Chef event in North Dakota for the state’s March of Dimes chapter.

The fundraising event was one evening featuring culinary creations and incredible silent auction items from seven premiere chefs and their restaurants in Grand Forks. Event attendees sampled the dishes, enjoyed entertainment and bid on the auction items. Highlights:
- The silent auction package from Kim Holmes of Sanders 1907 sold for $1,600
- Centerpieces from Badman Designs were beautiful decorations and, as part of the auction, wonderful fundraisers
- Best of all: The event raised more than $16,000 for babies and their families

We’re parents, aunts and uncles. And we love good food.
Combining great cooking in a lovely evening to benefit babies and their families when they need it most was a perfect fit for our team. We produced the program for the evening, as well as recipe cards of the Chefs’ Signature dishes.

We especially enjoyed interviewing the chefs. For instance, Joey Miranda of Giuseppe’s Italian Ristorante has a special connection to the March of Dimes, since he and his wife had twin sons who were born four months early and required months of medical attention: One weighed 1 lb., 10 oz.; the other, 1 lb. 7 oz. It’s a bittersweet story he graciously shared in the program.

Another real treat was editing the chefs’ recipes: Try punctuating properly when you’re drooling for Dakota Harvest Bakers Profiteroles with Fall Fruit Compote, including from-scratch pastry cream!

We appreciate the opportunity to work with the March of Dimes and are especially proud to have helped make a difference for little ones and their families.
