The Metropolitan Foundation for Educational Quality was a American organization in the 1990's. Every year, the foundation hosted the Annual Celebrity Tennis Shoe Auction and Dinner. One year, the event was held at the City Hotel & Conference Center in New York City. Seated at one of the tables were Indiana Jones, Norma, Tom, Selina, and Frank.
Behind the scenes[]
The foundation's name and event appear on a sign at the entrance of the dinner event, in the opening bookend for "British East Africa, September 1909". The comic adaptation changes the foundation and dinner event with a benefit luncheon for the New York Chapter of the Multi-Racial Educational Trust Fund.
