FTMLK

We are excited for our 2026 Annual Community Breakfast, taking place on January 19, 2026. This year’s event promises to be truly spectacular as we proudly introduce our 2026 King Scholars, enjoy special performances by the Franklin Township High School Madrigals—recently featured on The Kelly Clarkson Show—and hear an inspiring keynote address from Somerset County Commissioner Director Shanel Y. Robinson.
​
Tickets for this year’s breakfast are selling quickly, and we encourage you to secure yours as soon as possible. Please use the red 'Ticket Sales' link below to purchase tickets or make a donation to support our scholarship fund. Your continued support allows us to invest in the next generation of leaders and honor the enduring legacy of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

We look forward to seeing you at this year's event.
