“In order for humanity to continue and progress, it is necessary to help one another. We are not alone, but rather, we are here as a community to stretch our hand and lift each other up when needed.”  – Real Raymond, ED MRF.

As we look ahead with optimism to an impactful year ahead, we want to take this moment to reflect and thank you for being part of MRF.

In a year met with unprecedented challenges, our global community of people, embraced new opportunities to show they care in a virtual world.
