For almost two decades, FrankTown has been a beacon of hope for disadvantaged students (K – 12th grade) in Franklin. The organization’s after-school and summertime programs offer academic assistance, structured character education, and enriching vocational opportunities. These invaluable programs aim to break the cycle of generational poverty, empower young minds, and help provide practical life skills that stay with the kids for a lifetime.
“Through our FrankTown programming, we are not just providing education and support; we are nurturing dreams, cultivating resilience, and sowing the seeds of a brighter future.”- Chris Barnhill, Executive Director, FrankTown.
The “Putting Down Roots” theme for this year’s Annual Dinner underscores the importance of laying a strong foundation for at-risk youth to thrive and grow. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with the mission of FrankTown, hear inspiring stories, and contribute to a cause that has a profound impact on the lives of children and families in need.
The Annual Dinner will feature a captivating program, inspiring guest speakers, a silent and live auction, and a delectable dinner experience. New this year, an after-party with Rubiks Groove promises to be a highlight of the evening, providing a perfect blend of entertainment, nostalgia, and celebration.
