Frankenmuth Community Foundation's Legacy Ball

The 2025 Legacy Ball will be held on Saturday, May 3rd at the Bavarian Inn Lodge. Cocktail hour begins at 4:30PM. Plan to join in for an evening of fellowship, fine dining, derby races and good old fashioned fun while raising funds for the Frankenmuth Little Angels Foundation.The event is a derby theme, incorporating the iconic Dachshund dogs. Top sponsors receive and decorate their “dog” in the race. (Don’t worry, no live dogs, just wooden ones!) Guests are encouraged to don your bow tie or fascinator and bet on your favorite dog in this interactive racing event. Prizes include Best Dressed Attendees, Best Dressed Dog, Bucket Raffle Winners and of course, a Dachshund Derby Champion. The event also features hors d’oeuvres, complimentary beer and wine, an expertly prepared multi-course meal, great bucket raffle prizes, and entertainment by Empty Canvas. This is an event you won’t want to miss!

Individual event tickets will be available for purchase on the website at the end of March.About this year's partner...The purpose of the Frankenmuth Little Angels Foundation is to provide financial assistance and support to families who have experienced the loss of a minor child. Specifically, the Foundation aims to assist families in covering the costs associated with the burial, funeral, and memorial expenses of their deceased child. The Foundation recognizes that families are often unprepared for the financial burden that comes with such unexpected and tragic events, and seeks to alleviate this burden by raising and administering funds dedicated to this cause.Each year, the Foundation accepts applications from local organizations engaging in a major project who are seeking help in raising funds. The Legacy Ball has raised over $229,000 in the last four years for the following projects: Frankenmuth City Beautification Committee’s Willkommen sign, Frankenmuth Lions Club Biergarten, Frankenmuth Historical Association's renovation and expansion, and the Frankenmuth Chamber’s Ice Rink. We look forward to raising funds for the Frankenmuth Little Angels Foundation in 2025!
