| Who we are and what we do FRAANK is a small all-volunteer based non profit organization located in central Arizona and dedicated to improving the lives of disadvantaged and troubled children. Through their annual summer bicycle adventures, our volunteers attempt to advance public awareness toward issues that may negatively impact the well being of children in the US as well as raise funds for local children and their families suffering from medical illnesses and personal maladies. FRAANK is a legally incorporated non profit organization chartered by the state of Arizona. 100% of all contributions received through the FRAANK organization are given to the beneficiaries of that particular event. |
