We had such a great time celebrating our community at the Homecoming Parade! GO RAMS!

There is nothing better than seeing so much school spirit, community pride, and excitement all in one place. A special thank you to Laura Hiler for hosting us!

Have you seen this beauty yet?

Our new billboard is officially up! The billboard space was generously donated, giving us a wonderful opportunity to celebrate the local generosity that continues to make a difference throughout the Ross community.

We are grateful for this gift, and excited to help even more people discover what is possible when we give where we live.

Today, we’re proud to recognize the Ross Band Boosters. A $3,000 grant will support the purchase of new uniforms and accessories for the Ross High School Marching Band Color Guard.

By helping offset these costs, the grant will reduce financial pressure on families, support student participation and help ensure students can continue taking part in meaningful music and arts experiences.

We are excited to support the Ross Band Boosters and the students who bring energy, creativity and school spirit to every performance.

Today, we’re proud to recognize Princess Project Pop Up Shop. A $3,750 grant will help cover storage costs for the Cincy Princess Pop Up Shop, which provides free formal dresses, suits, shoes and accessories to students who may not otherwise be able to afford them.

By removing the financial barrier of formalwear, the program helps more students attend Prom and Homecoming feeling included, celebrated and confident.

We are grateful for Princess Project Pop Up Shop and the joy, dignity and opportunity it brings to students across our community.

Today, we’re proud to recognize RAMM: Ross and Morgan Ministries. A $5,000 grant will help the organization continue providing essential support to local families through its food pantry, utility assistance and emergency aid.

As rising costs, layoffs and unexpected expenses create added challenges for households, this funding will strengthen RAMM’s ability to respond with timely help when families need it most.

We are grateful for RAMM and its continued commitment to helping neighbors through difficult times.

Today, we’re proud to recognize Companions on a Journey Grief Support. A $5,000 grant will support monthly, in-person grief support groups for students throughout Ross Local Schools.

Led by trained bereavement specialists, these groups will provide students who have experienced the loss of a loved one with coping tools, compassionate support and a safe space to connect with others who understand what they are going through.

We are grateful for Companions on a Journey and the care they provide to help students feel supported and less alone as they navigate grief.
