OUR MISSION
Anyone who knew Frankie Banali — the legendary drummer of Quiet Riot — knew his love for animals was boundless. The same passion he brought to the stage, he brought home: at one point, his family included two horses, four dogs, and ten cats. And his devotion didn't stop at his own door. Frankie didn't just write checks; he showed up. He stood outside pet stores protesting the sale of puppy mill dogs. He gave his time, his voice, and his heart to animals who had no one else.
Rescue was Frankie's passion. The Frankie Banali Foundation exists to carry that passion forward in his name.
What We Do
We act wherever animals need us most:
Rescuing animals in immediate peril, including horses and donkeys pulled from meat transfer trucks
Saving pets from shelters and sponsoring them in foster care until they find homes
Funding spay and neuter clinics to prevent suffering before it starts
Sponsoring sanctuaries that give animals lifelong safety
Fighting to end cruel animal testing
Every dollar and every hour of support goes toward the work Frankie believed in: a world where no animal is discarded, exploited, or left behind.
