The Ceramic Tile Education Foundation (CTEF) announced its annual online auction, set to run December 2-7, 2024, featuring an extensive collection of products and experiences valued at over $52,000.
“Our goal with the online auction is to ensure it includes tile installation products and materials that tile installers and contractors know, love, and depend on,” said Brad Denny, CTEF executive irector. The auction will help fund the foundation’s ongoing efforts to provide ceramic tile education and installer certification.
This year’s auction showcases a diverse range of items donated by industry supporters, including professional tools such as mixers, grinders, and saws, installation materials, and unique fishing experience packages. Twenty-five leading companies in the tile and stone industry, including Daltile, MAPEI, and Schluter, have signed on as 2024 auction sponsors.
Interested participants can register for free at the auction website and can place bids via computer or text messaging. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, CTEF relies on fundraising efforts like this auction to support its mission of improving the tile industry through installer certification, education, and training programs.
