Tickets still available for FCF Legacy Ball Dachshund Derby

  The Frankenmuth Community Foundation has partnered with several groups and organizations over its history, raising funds for key projects that impact the area.

  This year, the FCF chose to announce their partnership with the fledging Frankenmuth Little Angels Foundation through its annual Legacy Ball Dachshund Derby.

  Founded in 2024, the Frankenmuth Little Angels Foundation was designed to provide financial assistance and support of families who have experienced the loss of a smaller child by 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 administrating funds dedicated to this cause.

  The Frankenmuth Little Angels Foundation was started in April 2024. Currently, the funds are available for children and families within the Frankenmuth School District. As the foundation grows, the board of directors plans to expand to other areas.

  All funds raised at the 2025 Legacy Ball Dachshund Derby will benefit creating an endowment fund for this organization. The board of directors include President Chris Opperman, and Directors Ken Horn, Sara Opperman, and Joelle Abke.

  The Legacy Ball, which has evolved over the past decade, will be held at the Bavarian Inn Lodge on Saturday, May 3, 2025. Cocktail hour begins at 4:30pm, followed by an evening of fellowship, dinner, Dachshund Derby races, and good old-fashioned fun while raising funds for the Frankenmuth Little Angels Foundation. ......
