25 years of Partnerships & Celebrations
In 2022, Fry Family Foundation celebrated 25 years of building partnerships, and also celebrated the 'Legends' who made a significant contribution to the work of the Foundation during its history. In his speech at that event, Darryl Fry said, "I'm often asked, 'Why does FFF focus mostly on Newfoundland and Labrador rather than on the USA?' Well, I was hired and paid by an American corporation. In return, they wanted results. They got more than they paid for. Newfoundland, on the other hand, provided me with an upbringing, education, street smarts and a culture of courage, teamwork, treating people with respect, and not being greedy. Newfoundland asked for nothing in return. I think most of you know by now that Newfoundland and Labrador is more than a romantic notion to me. It is the foundation of who I am. That is why FFF focuses mostly here."
In 2017, the Foundation celebrated 20 years of building partnerships with Communities and in Education. At that time, we celebrated the 'Best' of those partners and the 'Best' international project in 'Together by Design'. At that event, Darryl said, "Over the years we have evaluated and carried out projects and programs in Newfoundland, Ontario, New Jersey, Florida, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Guatemala. We have been involved with over 100 Charities and Not-For-Profits, and over 1000 individuals in these organizations. The mission of every organization we support is compelling, but it is the competence and passion of the leaders and volunteers that we meet, that in the end drives our decision to get involved."
