Membership Benefits

Annual Scholarship Program – each year, FRANE awards thousands of dollars in college scholarships to employees or immediate family members of our member companies entering college or enrolled in an accredited undergraduate program. To date, we have awarded over $700,000 in scholarships in memory of Ryan Marrocco, in addition to over $10,000 in memory of our FRANE members and families, to deserving students throughout the Northeast.

Annual Events That Add Business Value – With a full portfolio of member driven events, FRANE members participate in a full array of Virtual Panel Forums, our Annual Business Conference, FRANE Feeds the Hungry Volunteer Day at Local Food Banks, and our signature, FRANE/Ryan Marrocco Memorial Golf Tournament. Each event provides the opportunity to bring together decision makers from our member companies providing a forum for business discussion and networking in a casual and comfortable setting. Each event supports our initiatives in both the educational and charitable giving areas.

Sponsorship and Marketing Opportunities – each event we hold provides unique sponsorship opportunities for our member companies. With exposure across our membership and throughout the trade, this is a great way to increase visibility and recognition of your organization, products and/or services. In addition, with our membership in the National Frozen & Refrigerated Association, our members enjoy the opportunity to participate in marketing programs, information and ideas that support the initiatives that drive sales in these critical categories.

Educational Opportunities – programs include both professional and personal enrichment seminars and/or forums that focus on current, cutting-edge topics for our members as well as our newly launched youth educational series. The latter is a partnership between FRANE and its members to provide educational opportunities for schools and organizations throughout our trading area, all focused on healthy eating alternatives as well as food safety.
