Alumni Weekend 2026 wrapped up with a fantastic second annual Bennaroo music festival at The Broadside! The Franklin jazz band, led by Carl Lacoste, kicked off an incredible lineup featuring talented alumni and local musicians, with Sweet Crude closing out the night. During the festivities, Stuart Rose ’72 was honored as Alumnus of the Year, and special thanks went to event chair Elena Cambre ’04 and the many dedicated volunteers. Thanks to an anonymous matching donation and the generosity of our sponsors and attendees, Bennaroo raised more than $200,000 for Franklin! We’re already looking forward to next year!
