Franklin's friends' other events

Franklin’s Friends is proud to present our  "Unleashed. Uncorked. Unframed."  gala on May 20, 2023, at the Winter Parks Event Center. It will be a magical evening with exemplary wines, gourmet cuisine, spectacular live and silent auctions, and a private art sale. WESH 2 News anchors Jason Guy and Michelle Imperato will return to host the event.  We anticipate more than 250 animal lovers will don their cocktail attire and come together to support Franklin's Friends and local animal welfare.

In 2022,  "Unleashed. Uncorked. Unframed." raised a record breaking $172,000.

This year's "Unleashed. Uncorked. Unframed." gala will be extremely special as we celebrate the gala's tenth anniversary!

Franklin’s Friends was proud to present the ninth annual HOWL-O-WEEN Dog Walk-a-Thon and Canine Costume Contest on Saturday, November 5. 

We had a picturesque new walk route, lots of dogs in costumes, vendors, adoptable dogs, music, raffles and much more! Denise Ryan (and her dog Rusty) from 98.9 WMMO's Morning Show returned to emcee. There was fierce competition for best costume and top fundraisers. And despite the rain and the hurricane reschedule, we raised over $35,000 with donations still coming in! These funds will be granted to local nonprofit and government agencies for Shelter/Rescue, Spay/Neuter, and Community Education projects!
