The BIG news is that 2025 marks our 12th year in service! This is a milestone I never dreamed possible. I am truly grateful to all of our loyal supporters and participants.
The Frank Ridge Memorial Foundation, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization and serves the community and mental health practitioners. When first conceived the organization in 2013 to honor the memory of my father, I never imagined we would accomplish so much for so long. I am tremendously grateful to the hundreds of mental health professionals who have elected to earn literally thousands of continuing education contact hours year after year by taking our seminars, and to the hundreds of supporters who have kept us alive with their generous donations and grants.
As we enter our 12th year, we continue to create and facilitate topical new seminars; find inspiring & trailblazing movies as the springboard for lively conversation; and continue to bring our one-woman show BIPOLAR & THE ENGLISH CHANNEL and the short documentary BREATHE to communities across America. For updates on our latest work, please check out our REGISTRATION FOR EVENTS & SEMINARS page.
The short doc BREATHE – directed by Zac Norrington – was presented at the prestigious ReelAbilities 2023 Film Festival, has been a semi-finalist & award winner at nearly 20 international film festivals, and won Best Short Documentary at the Annual Greenwich Village Film Festival.
