Founding
Frisbie was founded by Mary Frisbie Wood whose middle name came from her family who owned the Frisbie Pie Company. When students at Yale began tossing the pie plates and exclaiming “Frisbie!” to warn any innocent bystanders of the oncoming disc, a new game was born. Although Mary is not heir to the Whamo fortune, she is proud to bear the distinction of being “the original Frisbie.”
