New Year News from The Meemic Foundation
January 01, 2026
The Meemic Foundation hopes you’re having the happiest of new years. And we’re excited to share several milestones and special events coming up.
Fore! Education Golf Outing’s 10th Anniversary
2026 will be the 10th year for our summer fundraiser at the beautiful Indianwood Golf & Country Club in Lake Orion.
Over the years, we’ve raised thousands of dollars that have helped boost the grant opportunities The Meemic Foundation can offer. Mark your calendars for July 28, 2026, and stay tuned for more details on this year’s events to celebrate our first decade.
Interested in being a sponsor? Opportunities range from sponsoring a hole to a meal and more. Please reach out to Meemic Foundation Director Pam Harlin at Pam.Harlin@Meemic.com or 248-765-0991.
“Cheers for Educators’ ” Fifth Anniversary
Our annual “Cheers for Educators” online event will return to help usher in the new school year later this summer. Previous keynote speakers have ranged from comedians and gifted educators to CBS News correspondent Steve Hartman and Brad Holmes, executive vice president and general manager of the Detroit Lions.
Who will join us this year? We can’t wait to tell you!
Meemic Masterpieces Art Gallery Showing
Our latest Meemic Masterpieces art contest followed the theme “For the Love of Automobiles.” As usual, your students are blowing us away as our judges make some difficult decisions. Winners will be announced in February.
And what better way to showcase the winning artwork than a special gallery exhibit at the 2026 AAA Auto Expo later this year in Dearborn? In addition to our online gallery, this special presentation will bring together auto lovers of several generations.
