Since its inception in 2022, The RalRosa Foundation has donated a total of USD$60,000 to deserving organizations in Jamaica and the Washington, DC area.
Keith, a former finance senior executive in the sugar and rum industries in Jamaica, with a deep passion for reading and world politics and Phyllis, a devoted mother and former real estate broker with a penchant for tropical flowers and beautiful gardens, were married for 65 years.
June, the month they were joined in marriage, also symbolizes the month their lives were celebrated as they were both put to rest in 2021, after receiving compassionate care from National Chest Hospital in Jamaica and Holy Cross Hospital in Silver Spring, MD.
Keith and Phyllis both lived full active lives and were strong believers of the old adage, to whom much is given much is expected. Through The RalRosa Foundation we will continue to feel their spirits and pay it forward by building a community of followers who delight in giving back.
