BENJAMIN FRANKLIN
Bennaroo returns for its second year, bringing together more than 1,300 alumni, families, and friends for a celebration of music and community. Proceeds support Franklin’s music program and student travel fund, helping provide instruments, performance opportunities, competitions, and global learning experiences. With a $150,000 fundraising goal, Bennaroo is an opportunity to celebrate Franklin while investing in our students’ futures.
