PENDLETON, SC -- The Ceramic Tile Education Foundation (CTEF) has announced its online auction will take place from June 9 until June 15, 2025. It's a way to raise funds to support expanding the CTEF mission. That mission is to improve the tile industry through certification, education, training and participation in the development of nationally recognized standards and methods.
The first auction took place in October 2020 in reaction to COVID-19 when training and certification events were suspended. Although events are back, CTEF relies increasingly on fundraising to make ends meet. The proceeds from this online auction help support and expand the Certified Tile Installer (CTI) program, tile installation training and the Advanced Certifications for Tile Installers (ACT) program.
The auction will include over 100 items relevant to tile installation professionals. These are products donated by tile and stone industry supporters, suppliers and manufacturers that include, among others:
- Tools such as mixers, saws, cutters, tool kits, trowels, floats, sponges, suction cups and knee pads
- Materials include tile, GPT, backer board, underlayment, mortar, shower niches and grout
- Flooring products
- Online courses
