An Update from MEF

We hope that this message finds you healthy and well during these unprecedented times. Due to the current pandemic, our center staff has transitioned to online programming for students and families. Previously scheduled fundraising events have also been rescheduled to later in the year. Please see below for all recent updates: 

  1. 23rd Annual MAC Luncheon - We were so very fortunate to have had a successful MAC Luncheon this year. This year's MAC Luncheon was an overwhelming success, raising over $99,000 through sponsorships, ticket sales, and funds during and after the event. You can read a recap of the event here, which featured a keynote speech from Abbott's Corlis Murray and a Metro Achievement Center senior student.

  2. Rescheduling Events - Due to obvious circumstances, we have decided to reschedule our annual spring Soiree and Golf Outing for the Kids to later in the year. Please find the new dates below: 

    MEF's Soiree has been rescheduled for Friday, August 14th at Artifact Events. Click HERE for more info.

    MEF's Annual Golf Outing for the Kids has been rescheduled for Monday, August 24th at Cog Hill Golf Course. Please click HERE for more info. 

  3. Online Resources for MEF Kids and Families - Our center staff has worked hard with the crew at MEF to provide as many resources for our families as possible. This team is also getting creative through social media, so please keep an eye on our channels and follow them, if you have not already. You can find the resource pages for each center HERE. We are also implementing many online physical and educational challenges on our social media pages.

  4. 2020 Reach for Excellence Dinner - We are excited to announce that this year's Reach for Excellence Dinner will take place on October 26th at the Four Seasons. We will be honoring John J. Conroy from Baker McKenzie who also serves as the chair of MEF's board. The co-honoree will be Harry Kraemer, a longtime friend and supporter of MEF.
