FRANKLIN'S FRIENDS' SIGNATURE EVENTS

Franklin's Friends is proud to present the ninth annual HOWL-O-WEEN  Dog Walk-a-Thon and Canine Costume Contest on October 22 from 9 am to noon.  In order to accommodate more vendors and walkers, we're moving the festivities to Cranes Roost Park at Uptown Altamonte.  Please join us to fundraise for local animal welfare. Last year HOWL-O-WEEN raised over $42,000!

We will have a dog walk, canine costume contest, adoptable dogs, pet-friendly vendors, music and much more! All proceeds will benefit Franklin’s Friends. Denise Ryan from 98.9 WMMO's Morning Show will return to emcee.  We expect at least 750 animal lovers will come out and enjoy a morning of fun for the whole family. This is an event not to be missed!  

There will be fabulous prizes for top individual fundraisers, top team fundraisers and best costumes!

Franklin's Friends celebrated raising their 2 millionth dollar for local animal welfare while hosting the ninth annual "Unleashed. Uncorked. Unframed." gala on May 7. Over 200 supporters donned their cocktail attire and came together to support the cause. It was a magical evening that raised a record $172,000 for pets in Central Florida!

WESH2 news anchors Michelle Imperato and Jason Guy returned to emcee, and guests had the opportunity to bid on the chance to have WESH 2 meteorologist Eric Burris pour a magnum of champagne for their table. The gala featured fabulous live and silent auctions, inspirational videos, and a guest appearance by Wolfie - one of the dogs that Husky Haven of Florida was able to save due to a grant from Franklin's Friends.

Thank you to all of the sponsors, guests, auction item donors, and volunteers. The event was spectacular - and all proceeds will benefit local animal welfare!
