Give to the MEF Online Auction

The MEF Silent Auction, part of our Celebration for Education on February 21, 2026, at Common House Chattanooga, is one of the highlights of the year, and we’d love your help to make it a success!

 

Each item and experience in our auction helps support teachers, programs, and resources in all three Signal schools. If you own a business or know someone who does, please help us connect with those who might like to donate an item, experience, or gift certificate. Every contribution makes a meaningful difference.

 

To donate, contact Jill Glenn at auction@MEFtoday.org or 256-509-5787.
