A VIP University of Tennessee football experience, dinner with Pulitzer Prize-winner Jon Meacham at his home, and a stay at Hollywood’s Magic Castle are among the special items included in the Monteagle Inn and Retreat Center’s auction at 5 p.m., Saturday, April 26, to support the South Cumberland Community Fund.
“Jim and Lee Harmon brought the auction idea to the Community Fund because they support our work as the only nonprofit concerned with the entire South Cumberland Plateau. The funds from this auction at their wonderful inn will enable us to support worthy programs in the areas of early childhood education, county-wide health initiatives and the arts,” said Scott Parrish, Community Fund board chair.
All auction items will be available for online bidding beginning Monday, April 21. Some will have a “Buy It Now” option and can be purchased outright. All other auction items and all “Buy It Now” items that were not purchased will then go to the silent and live auctions. A complete list of auction items can be found at <southcumberlandcommunityfund.org/auction>. The link for online bidding will also be posted there on Monday, April 21.
“The Monteagle Inn and the South Cumberland Community Fund would like to thank all of those who have made such generous contributions to support this auction,” Parrish said. The funds raised will be used to provide grants to groups offering innovative ways to meet community goals, he said.
The mission of the South Cumberland Community Fund is to improve the quality of life across the plateau by increasing philanthropic giving and providing community leadership to build on the strength of the area’s people, communities and natural setting, enhance community capacity and collaboration, and support innovative ways to solve community problems.
