Making History: The 2016 Heritage Ball Auction
Written By: Abby Janis
Every community has a story. As a community creates traditions, beliefs, and achievements that become woven into its history, the history becomes a heritage, and the heritage becomes a legacy.

LEGACY Consulting, PR & Events was so delighted to work with TheHeritage Foundation of Franklin on the 2016 Heritage Ball Auction. The efforts of
everyone who helped raise funds benefited The Heritage Foundation’s mission to
“save the places that matter in
Williamson County.”
The Heritage Foundation is a non-profit
organization that exists to protect and preserve the architectural, geographic
and cultural heritage of Franklin and Williamson County. The foundation advocates for and raises funds to preserve historic buildings, sites, and
community resources that Franklin has to offer, as well as supports the
businesses in the historical district to promote Downtown Franklin. The association
also facilitates historic learning opportunities for Williamson County’s public,
private, and home school institutions and organizes numerous local festivals
and events to further celebrate the Franklin and Williamson County
communities.


Another spectacular element of the auction was Roy
Laws’ Live Painting. During the Ball, local painter Roy Laws sat at the end tip
of the auction procession, crafting a brilliant painting with bold color,
subject matter, and emotion. Attendees bid on the opportunity to leave the ball
with his live creation.
Overall, both the silent and live auction proved
to be a gleaming success. This year’s proceed earnings almost doubled those of
last year’s Ball. By the time the auction officially closed, The Heritage
Foundation had not only reached their goal of $100,000 raised in the auction alone, but far surpassed it, making it the most successful auction to date.
