You can help with Fund raising underway for a Student Achievement Sign on Panther Way

FRANKLIN COMMUNITY: HELP US CELEBRATE OUR STATE CHAMPIONS! 🏆

Were you part of a Franklin High School state championship team? Are you the proud parent or family member of a Panther champion? We’re asking you to help preserve Franklin’s history!

A committee of Franklin parents and school officials is raising funds for a permanent 15-foot Student Achievement Sign on Panther Way to celebrate our community’s tradition of excellence.

The sign will recognize the 12 Franklin High School Division I state championship teams dating back to 1982, with space to honor future state titles in athletics, performing arts and academic competitions.

💙💛 This is a community-funded capital campaign, led by parents and booster organizations, with 100% of project funds being raised through community support—not the school budget.

📣 Our Fundraising Progress

Goal: $55,000

Raised: $32,900 (Thanks to The Fletcher Fund, FHS Booster Organizations, and parents)

Remaining: $22,100

🏆 Calling all championship alumni and families! You helped make Franklin history. Please consider contributing to ensure these achievements are recognized for generations of Panthers to come.

🏢 Calling local businesses! We’re seeking 8–10 Community Partners to support this initiative. Partners will receive a list of sponsorship benefits, be recognized at our spring ribbon-cutting ceremony, and have their company names permanently displayed on the sign.

Every contribution makes a difference! All individual and corporate donors contributing more than $500 will also be recognized on the permanent signage.

Please consider donating and sharing this post with former teammates, championship families, local businesses, and friends who love Franklin!

💙 Donate online through UniPay:   https://unipaygold.unibank.com/transactioninfo.aspx

Additional payment options are available in the Sponsor Information Packet linked above.

Thank you for helping us honor our past champions, celebrate today’s students, and inspire the Panthers who will make history tomorrow!

Once a Panther, always a Panther! 💙💛 Please help us bring this sign to life with a donation to celebrate our students' achievements!
