Thanks to YOU… this year’s MPAEF Auction was a huge success!
We are thrilled to announce that through the Auction Party on March 9, the Online Auction and our Fund-a-Need drive, our community raised over $560,000!
Thank you to the many local businesses and families who donated items for the auction, the guests who attended the party and raised their paddles, and to everyone who donated an auction item. It was wonderful to have our community come together and successfully support our schools.
For any quesitons regarding auction items and pick-up, please contact events@mpaef.org.
