With the pandemic still limiting our ability to hold in-person fundraisers, we are excited to introduce a fun new way to show off your pet while helping to raise money for MEF. We have set a goal of raising $10,000 and hope you will help to make it successful.

As a part of the Love Our Schools Match Challenge, all gifts made February 1 - 22 will be MATCHED up to $25,000. That's right, through the generosity of anonymous donors, our money will be DOUBLED.

There are many cute pets on this mountain, but let's be honest about this...YOU have the cutest pet with the biggest personality around, don't you? Here's your chance to show off your pet!

Enter your pet's picture in the photo contest for a fee/donation of just $25. Then encourage your family and friends to vote for your pet! The top 3 pets will win PAWSOME PRIZES!

As part of the Love Our Schools $50K Match Challenge (through February 22), the pet photo contest is raising funds for the Mountain Education Foundation (MEF). All contest entries and votes, as well as all donations at MEFtoday.org, will be DOUBLED! MEF is a non-profit 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to serving students in kindergarten through 12th grade at Thrasher Elementary, Nolan Elementary, and Signal Mountain Middle/ High School. These schools rely on donations to MEF for annual grant allocations that fund 13 staff positions, along with technology, professional development, student activities, teacher recognition, and more. To invest or learn more, visit MEFtoday.org or call MEF at 423/517-0772.
