Giving Back to the Community
Ross & Ross International encourages giving back to the community.
Trustbridge (formally Hospice by the Sea)
We volunteered our time to develop the first website for Hospice By The Sea. It was the fifth largest hospice in the U.S. Hospice By The Sea is located in Boca Raton, Florida. The organization's people, medical care, service and facilities are world-class. They are dedicated to providing compassionate care for patients living with a life-limiting condition, as well as providing spiritual support for patients, their families and caregivers. We maintained and expanded the site for the first three years before turning over the support to the Hospice staff. The website was donated by Ross & Ross International in memory of Toby Ross (Barry's Mom). Note: Hospice by the Sea merged with Hospice of Palm Beach/Broward County Foundation and is now Trustbridge Hospice Foundation.

Cell Phones for Soldiers
We promote Cell Phones for Soldiers on our website. This helps our soldiers and recycles the cell phones. The Cell Phones for Soldiers program was started in April 2004 by 13-year-old Brittany Bergquist and her 12-year-old brother Robbie of Norwell, Massachusetts. Robbie and Brittany's goal is to help our soldiers serving overseas call home. They hope to provide as many soldiers as possible with prepaid calling cards. Through generous donations and the recycling of used cell phones, Robbie and Brittany have already distributed thousands of calling cards to soldiers around the globe. Please donate your oldphone today.
