About Our Auction

About our Silent Auction:

This year, the Maine Osteopathic Education Foundation celebrates its 20th year hosting an auction. The Silent Auction is the largest fundraiser done annually to support the foundation's mission of: Educating Maine students in osteopathic medicine; providing continuing education for existing physicians; and to improve the health of all Maine people through education and research.

On an annual basis, the MOEF supports medical students in their efforts to become practicing physicians in our state, and also supports current physicians in Maine in their continuing education. In 2021, the MOEF was able to sponsor 8 College of Osteopathic Medicine students in their pursuit of becoming licensed physicians in Maine, the most scholarships granted in one year to date! The Maine Osteopathic Association and the MOEF recognize the demand for more healthcare workers in Maine and our foundation is doing what it can to support those whose hopes are to remain in our state and provide healthcare to the citizens of Maine. We also supported the University of New England, College of Osteopathic Medicine and other organizations within our state who share the mission of health and wellness across Maine.

In true tradition we chosen to host the MOEF Silent Auction concurrently with our Annual Midwinter Symposium. For the second year in a row, we have chosen to host virtually so those both near and far can participate.

We are excited to share that our Auction site will "GO LIVE" Thursday, February 10, 2022 at 8am and will remain open for bidding and donations until Sunday, February 13th at 10am. Winners will be announced shortly there afterward. Notifications will be sent directly to bid winners as well.

A special Thank You our 2021 Donors and Friends! We are excited to see what 2022 will bring!


About Maine Osteopathic Educational Foundation

The Maine Osteopathic Educational Foundation (MOEF) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization whose primary goals are to:

· Educate Maine students in osteopathic medicine;

· To provide continuing education for existing physicians; and

· To improve the health of all Maine people through education and research.

History of the MOEF and the D.O. Campaign:

The MOEF Fundraising Committee officially launched the “Distinguishing Ourselves: Preserving the Past and Preparing for the Future” fundraising campaign in June of 2013 and began with a gift in memory of Louis Hanson, DO. The original fundraising goal of $250,000 to build an endowment dedicated to the three goals stated above, was reached in the first 3 years of the campaign. Further contributions are needed to protect and promote osteopathic medicine for generations to come.

Each year multiple $1000 scholarships are awarded to deserving medical students from Maine. Donate to support this cause!
