Ken Diamond Memorial Park - Glovertown, NL
About UsThe Fry Family Foundation (FFF) is a private, U.S. based organization. It was founded and funded by Darryl and Marlene Fry, who were born and educated in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). In 1996, Darryl created five scholarships at Memorial University (MUN) to reward the accomplishments of the next generation and to recognize individuals who had inspired him. Establishing these scholarships inspired him to co-found the Fry Family Foundation with his wife Marlene in 1997. Read more about their story in Givers of the World: Celebrating 25 years of student support by the Fry Family Foundation.
