Beneficiaries
Introducing Our 2026-27 Beneficiaries
The Circle of Giving was founded in 2024 by Holladay Properties, developers of The Factory at Franklin, to operate The Carousel of Dreams by Ken Means and direct its proceeds to local charitable organizations. This initiative brings to life the longtime vision of master carver Ken Means, who has spent over 30 years crafting the whimsical figures that now make up the carousel.
