Thank you!!
Without those that attended, volunteered, and spent their time, energy and money, the event would never have been such a success! From all of us at F.R.A.N.K., thank you!!
The 1st Annual F.R.A.N.K. Summer Picnic Fundraiser was a complete success! Over $3,000 dollars was raised that day and, along with the great weather, everyone had a great time!
Here are some of the photos of the event captured by Carlyn Kachurek of Carlyn K Photography.
Frank Parisi (1949-2010)
All proceeds will continue Frank Parisi's legacy of helping recovering addicts and their families.
Pictured here is a granite memorial to Frank that is located near the fountain at
The Barn.
Chinese Raffle Baskets!
With the generous donations of local businesses, friends and family members, we had over 20 theme baskets to raffle off.
The Grill Master
World-reknown grill master, Stevie "Two-cakes" Parisi, was able to make time in his hectic appearance schedule and perform cooking duties for those that brought their grillable items.
Rumor has it that he will be back again for the 2014 F.R.A.N.K. Fundraiser on Aug. 10th!!
Pack a picnic lunch

The Barn
A truly unique music venue, The Barn is an old structure that has been recently renovated and configured into a performance hall with professional sound and lighting equipment.
We cannot thank the organization Music on a Mission, especially Marilyn Zeidner, enough for allowing us to host our event at The Barn.
If you've never attended an event at The Barn, you should! Get out there and support the Music on a Mission organization. An organization that is dedicated to bringing music to those without access such as Veteran Hospitals, nursing homes and assisted living.
Afternoon of great music!
Northeast Ohio is blessed with great singers, musicians and bands. We had five of them perform at this year's event and they ranged from solo acoustic acts to
rock-n-roll bands. A little something for everyone!
