Ticket price: The cost of your ticket only covers the cost of putting on the event (venue, food/wine, and entertainment). The MEF Auction Gala is a fundraising event to benefit Moraga's public schools, so please plan to participate in the fundraising aspect of this event by purchasing raffle tickets, bidding on live auction items, and raising your paddle during the "Raise-Your-Paddle" portion of the live auction. When you make a contribution during the "Raise-Your-Paddle" portion of the live auction, you do not receive anything of value in return, and this contribution counts toward your overall gift to the MEF Giving Campaign.

Gift Listing Policy:

  • Contributions made during the "Raise-Your-Paddle" portion of the live auction will count toward donor's annual gift amount to the MEF Giving Campaign and these donors will receive recognition in the MEF Annual Report.
  • Donations of auction items and expenses associated with hosting a Pay-to-Play Party do not count toward a donor's annual gift amount to the MEF Giving Campaign, but these generous businesses and individuals will be recognized in our auction catalog and the MEF Annual Report.
  • Unfortunately, auction purchases, ticket purchases, raffle ticket purchases, and purchases of Pay-to-Play Party tickets do not count towards a donor's overall annual gift amount to the MEF Giving Campaign because something of value is received in return.
