FDR Foundation's Support
for Motorcycle Accident Survivors
Healing from Within
There are an estimated 812,000 motorcycles registered in the state of California. The motorcycle community is a very large one. This community is close to our hearts and unfortunately, many of us have been impacted by the injury or loss of a loved on in a tragic accident. The FDR Foundation extends our condolences to anyone affected by these kinds of accidents. Frank Rosales Sr. started this foundation as a means to help those who have experienced this same kind of loss as he has.
FDR Foundation's Mission: Unwavering Support for Motorcycle Accident Victims
The FDR Foundation is established to honor the life of Frank Dean Rosales. Named after his father Frank Sr., Frank Dean Rosales has several nicknames including, Frankie, and Dean. As he grew up, he began calling himself FDR, and enjoyed that he shared that name with admired U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. FDR died at age 25 from a motorcycle accident. His death left a significant hole in his community of family and friends. To honor his life and to fill that hole, The FDR Foundation was born.
The grief of losing his son, left Frank Rosales reflecting on his young son’s life and made a commitment to keep his memory alive. Many of Frank’s close friends and family have come together to establish a sustainable effort to continue the spirit of FDR’s good work…The FDR Foundation.
