Join the Friends of Franklin Foundation on Sunday, May 3, 2026, for Franklin Fest, our in-person and online silent auction benefiting Franklin Elementary, a Title 1 school serving the City Heights, Kensington, and Talmadge communities. Hosted in-person at Ponce’s Mexican Restaurant, the event will also include an online auction component, allowing friends, family, and supporters near and far to participate.

Franklin Fest is a major fundraiser for the Friends of Franklin Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting high-quality STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math) programs and enrichment opportunities for all Franklin students.

Thanks to the generosity of our donors, sponsors and our Flyer families at Franklin Fest, we have been able to expand STEAM programming across every grade at Franklin Elementary, support a field trip for each class, and revitalize the STEAM lab to provide greater access and more meaningful hands-on learning opportunities for our students.
