Children's Museum of Franklin is a community-focused 501(c)(3) non-profit organization serving Franklin, MA and the surrounding region. We believe that play is integral to learning and development. With that at heart, we're building an interactive and imaginative space where children and families can come together to discover, imagine, and grow.


Children's Museum of Franklin strives to inspire the next generation and to build a community of intentional connection through play and exploration. Over the last several weeks, Children's Museum of Franklin hosted its first two Mobile Museum pop-up events. We had nearly 1,000 people attend. We are overwhelmed (in a great way!) by the joy and community enthusiasm. This show of support has only enhanced our excitement as we move forward with the development of The Museum.


Children's Museum of Franklin is hosting its first major community awareness and fundraising event, Night at the Museum Gala, on Thursday, April 11. Join us for an evening of friends, exhibit play, live entertainment, food, and conversation.


Have fun with friends: forward this invite on to your community!

Cheers!

Meg & Erin

New England Legends Presents Zombie Prom 2024: A Night of Dancing with the Dead for a Worthy Cause

New England Legends, the creators of the popular New England Legends podcast, are thrilled to announce the return of their much-anticipated Zombie Prom fundraiser on Saturday, February 17th, 2024 at 7pm. The ghoulishly delightful event will take place at the DoubleTree Hotel in Milford, Massachusetts, promising attendees an unforgettable night of dancing, games, raffle prizes, and a pizza party—all in the spirit of raising funds for a charitable cause.

 

Hosted by Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger, the minds behind the New England Legends podcast, the Zombie Prom has become a cherished alternative celebration for those looking to escape the clichés of Valentine's Day. Uniting undead enthusiasts and those with a taste for the macabre, this event offers a unique, entertaining and light-hearted experience for attendees to revel in the delight of the unconventional.

The organization engages volunteers to grow fruits and vegetables for hunger relief, working towards the vision of creating connected communities that ensure access to healthy food for all.

 

Dress Your Worst or Be a "Victim":

Attendees are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the night by dressing in their most dreadful attire or by coming as "victims" without costumes. The more creative and gruesome, the better!  Best costumes will be crowned King and Queen of the Undead!

 

Entertainment Highlights:

- Dance the night away to the beats of DJ Neto.

- Engage in games and activities throughout the evening.

- Stand a chance to win exciting raffle prizes.
