Silent Auction
is Live

We Believe in Millbrae Kids!

The Annual MEF Gala and Auction celebrates our children and our schools and is our biggest fundraising event of the year. This celebration brings parents, teachers, school administrators and city leaders from all over Millbrae together to show their generosity, kindness and amazing sense of community. Last year, our gala & auction raised $154,000.

At the event, we will be hosting a live auction (items announced once finalized) along with our Fund the Future program. We hope that all attendees consider some level of participation to help MEF continue to fund the teachers and staff we need for essential programs such as music, PE and academic support.
