How do I request a donation from the Benton Franklin Fair Association?
The Benton Franklin Fair & Rodeo is proud to assist organizations in the community with their fund-raising efforts in many ways. Some groups raise money by working for the fair, and others sell some of our favorite fair-time foods as a means to fund their good works. Many other organization request donations throughout the year in support of their causes. And while we wish we could fulfill all the requests, that's just not possible. Our priority is to help organizations involved in the Benton Franklin Fair & Rodeo. Please complete the Donation Request form to have your donation request considered.
