POP UP auction for last minute Holiday Treasures!

December 3 through December 8, 2018 ONLY!

For those of you who were unable to grab some of our great holiday treasures during our recent November auction and for those new to our organization, the Frank Ridge Memorial Foundation is holding a pre-holiday POP UP five-day-only auction.

We've got beautiful Broadway original autographed show posters & memorabilia; rare collectibles; fabulous toys; boat loads of books; and more. Your purchases support our non-profit dedicated to living well with mental health conditions through awareness and understanding, and the presentation of our FREE Actors' Equity Staged Reading, BIPOLAR & THE ENGLISH CHANNEL playing December 13, 14, 15 and 16, 2018 at an off-Broadway theatre in New York, NY.  This production supports our mission and is a celebration of our 5th Year Anniversary.

The Frank Ridge Memorial Foundation, Inc., a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, was founded in December 2013 in memory of my father Frank Ridge.  We have accomplished our mission annually by:

• Delivering individual learning seminars and 4-part seminar series entitled CONNECTING DOTS.  Through film, open conversation and resource-rich take-home materials, our seminars explore the complex world of mental health diagnoses.  As a NY State Education Department’s State Board for all Mental Health Practitioners and Social Workers approved provider of Continuing Education credits, our classes are intimate and we keep our costs low in an effort to offer high quality, enjoyable learning experiences.
• Offering meaningful part-time employment opportunities for individuals managing mental health issues.
• Providing opportunities for people with disabilities and mental health concerns to share and sell their art (e.g. photography, painting, drawing, music, film).
• Maintaining our up-to-date, user-friendly, resource-rich website which includes: recommendations for literature and films that compassionately portray mental health conditions; recommendations for accurate, up-to-date web sites; and reliable hotline numbers for those at risk of suicide.

Please help us raise the $5,000 we need to break even again this year!  To see more about what we do, visit us at: www.frankridgememorialfoundation.org.  We are grateful for donations large and small and wish you all a healthy, happy, warm holiday season.
