Franktown Open Hearts To Host Second Annual Franktown Dinner

Former "The Biggest Loser" Contestant Sean Algaier To Speak At Event

Franktown Open Hearts, a nonprofit organization that benefits Franklin’s underprivileged youth, will host its second annual Franktown Dinner fundraiser from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 7, in Liberty Hall at The Factory at Franklin.

The event, sponsored by Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Hewitt Garden Center, Jason Aldean and Harpeth Pediatrics, will feature former The Biggest Loser contestant Sean Algaier, a silent auction, live music by Christian musician Ed Cash and dinner.

“This event is a great way for our community to come together for a night of entertainment in support of our program,” said Dan Alexander, executive director of Franktown Open Hearts. “As Franktown Open Hearts continues to grow, we depend more on events like this and the people and organizations that support us.”

Algaier, a youth pastor who was on Season 8 of The Biggest Loser, will speak at the event. A former foster child, Algaier is also a motivational speaker who travels across the country sharing his message of perseverance in hopes of inspiring others. After starting out in The Biggest Loser at 444 pounds, Algaier weighed 289 pounds on the show’s finale and continues to work toward achieving his weight loss goal.

A producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist, Cash has worked with Christian artists such as Amy Grant, Chris Tomlin, Steven Curtis Chapman, Dolly Parton and Bethany Dillon. His signature sound, which blends classic rock and neo-soul, will be showcased as he is the featured entertainment for the Franktown Dinner.
