HOWL-O-WEEN Walk-A-Thon

Franklin’s Friends is proud to present the eleventh annual 

HOWL-O-WEEN  Dog Walk-a-Thon and Canine Costume Contest on October 26, 2024 from 9 am to noon at Cranes Roost Park at Uptown Altamonte.  

We will have a (much shorter than in years past) 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 500 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! Please join us to fundraise for local animal welfare. 

Last year HOWL-O-WEEN raised over $38,000! 

We also have sponsorship and vendor booth opportunites   Every sponsorship includes a vendor booth - and this year we are offering an enhanced vendor experience. Instead of the walk going all the way around the lake, it will feature a stroll down vendor row with the vendors cheering for four-legged and two-legged walkers alike. This will maximize vendor exposure by allowing more time for walkers to visit!
