I am a single parent of four kids who have been able to do alot of things that I would normally not been able to afford to have them do. Thanks to Dr Ryan and his foundation my kids have been able to experience many things, like mentoring from other role models like Dr Ryan, and people that work with the foundation. They have been on trips that the foundation has taken them on, that I would not be able to do for them. I am so greatful for people like Dr Frank Ryan and his foundation, because it keeps our kids busy and out of trouble. Thank you Dr Ryan

I'm so happy that this foundation exists. Dr. Ryan is doing underprivilidged kids and their families a great service. He exposes the kids to things that they would normally not have a chance to experience. They get a chance to meet wonderful, caring, successful individuals that share their life experiences in hopes of inspiring the kids to strive for a better future. This is a great organization and can always use additional help in accomplishing their goal.

I had a great experience with this organization working with kids who were able to get away from the stress and pressures of their everyday lives at home and school and provide insights and share information about nursing. This was a great opportunity to help kids focus and align positive goals with their future. Along with other volunteers from different career backgrounds we were able to give kids a glimpse of different career options and how we were able to succeed in our various fields. This organization gives kids a great way to connect with positive adults and be inspired.

I have attended or volunteered for several years with the Bony Pony Ranch. It has been such a positive experience working with the kids, thier families, all the other volunteers and charity guests. The parties include fun things for both adult and child!! The atmosphere is so down to earth and yet very high end re: the guests and the quality of the event, food etc...A lot of love is clearly put in by Dr. Ryan himself.

Dr. Ryan really cares about these kids and he goes out of his way to get the most AMAZING people to come up and work with them and gives them a day that they'll never forget. And the ranch in Malibu is truly an oasis...beautiful and peaceful...feels a million miles away from LA. Keep up the great work, Dr. Ryan!

The Dr. Frank Ryan Foundation is a great organization! They help SO many people and have fun while they're doing it. The Bony Pony Ranch, affiliated with the foundation, is a beautiful ranch where the foundation holds many of its events. All of the staff are extremely friendly and everyone who visits is guaranteed to have a great time!
