15th Anniversary Gala Forms: Donations, Sponsorships, Auction Items

On November 12, the Franklin Downtown Partnership will celebrate it's 15th Anniversary with a Gala at THE BLACK BOX. 

The goal of the Gala is to celebrate the revitalization of downtown Franklin and to raise funds that will allow our non-profit organization continue working on improvements and bringing events such as the Harvest Stroll, Holiday Stroll and Strawberry Stroll to the community.
