Franklin’s Friends was proud to present the seventh annual HOWL-O-WEEN on October 24, 2020. Given the COVID-19 pandemic, the event looked a little bit different this year but it was a ton of fun for the whole family!
We started with peer to peer fundraising- raising almost $20,000 on our dojiggy platform.
Our first annual online Pet Costume Photo contest featured some amazing costumes, generated fierce competition and raised almost $3,000. Click here to see all the dog and cat entries!
Then, on October 24, we all joined a zoom meeting with 98.9 WMMO's Denise Ryan as emcee. We had a virtual scavenger hunt, a zoom background contest, and played virtual trivia and bingo!! Pet Photo Costume Contest Winners were announced as well as top individual and team fundraisers.
Best of all we raised almost $23,000 for local animal welfare!
