Frankenmuth Community Foundation seeks partner for 2023 Legacy Ball Dachshund Derby

September 12, 2022

Application opens November 1, 2022 and closes November 30, 2022


The Frankenmuth Community Foundation Legacy Ball Dachshund Derby is a fundraising event that celebrates fellowship, fine dining, fancy hats and fun.  Our goal is to raise $20,000 or more for a deserving local organization that is engaged in a major project designed to improve the lives of Frankenmuth's citizens.  This past April, the 2nd Annual Legacy Ball Dachshund Derby was a resounding success, as we far surpassed the $20,000 goal as we collaborated with the Frankenmuth Historical Association  to support the construction of new museum galleries which will reflect Frankenmuth's recent history, from 1995 to the present.


We are looking to partner with another great organization in 2023 to help them bring their dream project to fruition.  All proceeds from the 2023 Legacy Ball Dachshund Derby, to be held April 29, 2023 at Bavarian Inn Restaurant, will go directly to the selected partnering organization's project.  For more information or questions about partnering please email us at FrankenmuthCommunityFoundation@gmail.com.

2024 Legacy Ball Recap
By Jonathan Webb January 26, 2024
The Frankenmuth Community Foundation is excited to announce their partner organization for the 2024 Legacy Ball Dachshund Derby is the Frankenmuth City Beautification. Each year, the Foundation accepts applications from local organizations engaging in a major project who are seeking help in raising funds. Last year, the Foundation raised over $71,000 for the Frankenmuth Lions Club to complete their new patio Biergarten outside the Lion Haus in Heritage Park. In previous years, other recipients have been the Frankenmuth Historical Association for their renovation and expansion project and the Frankenmuth Visitors Center to bring the Frankenmuth Ice Rink to town. This year, the Frankenmuth Community Foundation and the Frankenmuth City Beautification are excited to collaborate on this event to benefit the Frankenmuth City Beautification Committee’s project of replacing and upgrading the iconic “Willkommen” sign on the south bank of the Cass River, near the Main Street Bridge.
