Our Founders, Directors and Friends are all volunteers who have enjoyed representing FFF at many events with Community and Education Partners for over 25 years. They give of themselves as much as FFF provides funding.
In 2022, we celebrated the milestone of 25 years as a Foundation providing support to organizations across North America. It was also an opportunity to honour two leaders and Friends who made a significant contribution to the work of the Foundation during its history. In St. John's, retired Friend Dr. Philip Warren, was presented with a Legend Award for his Leadership in the development of the FFF Scholarship Program. In Glovertown, Clarice Goodyear was presented with a Legend Award for her Leadership in the establishment of Ken Diamond Memorial Park. Read more about our FFF 25th Anniversary Legends. In 2017, Fry Family Foundation celebrated 20 years as a Foundation. At that time, we honoured a select group of 16 leaders and volunteers from organizations that the Foundation had partnered with during its history. Three of those honourees, Corinne Dunne, Bob Dawson and Judy Casey, are now Friends of the Foundation. Read more about our 20th Anniversary Best of the Best Award recipients. |
