Premeer Gives Back Foundation Honors Travis Ann DoRosario with 2025 “Be The Good” Award 💙💛

Uxbridge resident recognized for extraordinary dedication to community service and civic involvement

[Uxbridge, MA] — The Premeer Gives Back Foundation is proud to announce Travis Ann DoRosario, a longtime Uxbridge resident, as a 2025 recipient of its Be The Good Award at their recent Evening of Giving event, recognizing her selfless commitment, leadership, and tireless dedication to the community she loves.

Their Be The Good Award is given to community members who give their time, energy, and heart simply because they care. Travis Ann DoRosario exemplifies that spirit in every way.
Often described as the heartbeat of Uxbridge, Travis is deeply involved in nearly every aspect of town life. If there is a community event happening, chances are she is organizing it, serving on the committee behind it, or proudly showing up in support.

She plays an integral role on the The Uxbridge Premeer Fourth of July Committee, dedicating countless hours to ensure the town’s fireworks celebration is a success. Even before Premeer Real Estate’s involvement, she served on the original startup committee working to bring the fireworks back to Uxbridge.
Travis was also the driving force behind the creation of the Uxbridge Dog Park, a project that took many years of persistence, advocacy, and behind-the-scenes work. Through it all, she never gave up—motivated solely by her love for her community.

For nearly a decade, she has spearheaded Uniquely Uxbridge Day each September, helping celebrate local businesses, organizations, and town pride. In addition, she volunteers as a youth soccer coach and can regularly be found attending or serving on numerous town committees and meetings.
Her passion, perseverance, and unwavering commitment have helped shape Uxbridge into the vibrant community it is today.

“It is truly an honor to present the Premeer Gives Back Foundation’s Be The Good Award to an incredible human being who gives so much of herself to others,” said Chris Whitten, President of the Premeer Gives Back Foundation and broker/founder of Premeer Real Estate. “Uxbridge would not be the same without her.”

In addition to this recognition, Travis was also presented with a generous gift card donated by Revival 122 Restaurant in Whitinsville, MA, as a token of appreciation for her outstanding service and dedication.

The Premeer Gives Back Foundation proudly congratulates Travis DoRosario on this well-deserved recognition and thanks her for her selfless dedication to the Uxbridge community.

Premeer Gives Back is the charitable foundation of Premeer Real Estate, a real estate company with offices in Smithfield, Rhode Island, and Uxbridge, Massachusetts, deeply committed to investing in the communities it serves. Since 2019, the foundation has donated $117,750 to local charities, guided by its motto, “Be the Good.” With a strong focus on community involvement, Premeer Real Estate contributes $150 to a charity of the client’s choice for every successful closing, ensuring that each transaction helps make a positive impact locally.

Premeer Gives Back Foundation Honors James Thach with “Be The Good” Award 💙💛

Local volunteer recognized for selfless commitment to community, veterans, and first responders

[Mendon, MA] — The Premeer Gives Back Foundation is proud to announce James Thach as the 2025 recipient of its Be The Good Award at their recent Evening of Giving event, recognizing his selfless dedication, generosity, and meaningful impact on the local community.

The award recipient was selected in partnership with The Garrison Speed Shop Inc. in Mendon, MA, a nonprofit motorcycle garage where veterans and first responders find healing, connection, and hands-on skills. Through welding clinics, motorcycle maintenance, and community workshops, The Garrison Speed Shop provides a welcoming space to grow, build, and move forward—together.

When Premeer Gives Back asked Garrison Speed Shop co-founders Ben Hendricks and Luke Young to help identify their choice for the 2025 Be The Good Award, one selfless and dedicated volunteer immediately came to mind.

After 27 years of service in the United States Coast Guard Reserve, James continues to live by the values of Honor, Respect, and Devotion to Duty. In his civilian life, he has served as a Trustee of the Taft Public Library, participated in several Mendon town work groups, and supported the Mendon Police Department with emergency planning and response strategies to strengthen community safety.

His efforts are driven not by recognition, but by a genuine commitment to ensuring first responders and community members have the tools and support they need when it matters most. He is also an irreplaceable member of the Board of Directors at The Garrison Speed Shop, where his leadership and guidance continue to shape the organization’s mission.

“James embodies everything the Be The Good Award stands for,” said Ben, co-founder of The Garrison Speed Shop. “His service didn’t end when he retired from the Coast Guard—he brings that same sense of duty, integrity, and quiet leadership into everything he does for our veterans, first responders, and our community.”

In celebration of this honor, the Premeer Gives Back Foundation is proud to support The Garrison Speed Shop with $4,350 in charitable funding for 2025, helping advance its mission of connection, healing, and hands-on skill development for veterans and first responders.

In addition to this recognition, James was also presented with a generous gift card donated by Willow Brook Restaurant of Mendon, MA, as a token of appreciation for his outstanding service and dedication.

Premeer Gives Back Foundation Honors Hannah Ratcliffe with “Be The Good” Award 💙💛

Local leader recognized for lasting dedication to bringing joy and hope to children facing serious illness

[Smithfield, RI] — The Premeer Gives Back Foundation is proud to announce Hannah Ratcliffe as a 2025 recipient of its Be The Good Award presented at the Foundation’s recent Evening of Giving event, recognizing her leadership and long-standing commitment to Project Playhouse at Bryant University.

Project Playhouse is a student-run organization dedicated to building custom dream playhouses for children with terminal or serious illnesses across Rhode Island and Massachusetts. Working alongside vocational high schools, wish-granting organizations, and community sponsors, the program creates spaces for joy and healing while providing hands-on learning opportunities for trade students.

When Premeer Gives Back asked Robert Massoud, Bryant professor and longtime caretaker of Project Playhouse, for input for their 2025 Be The Good Award selection, one selfless leader immediately came to mind—Hannah Ratcliffe.

Hannah has been part of Project Playhouse since its very beginning. What started as a service project created by her father in a Bryant class she attended grew into a lifelong commitment. She continued with the program as a student volunteer and, after graduation, became its coordinator—helping guide, train, and support students year after year.

Even after moving on from Bryant University, Hannah continues to provide support and guidance whenever needed. Over the past eight years, Project Playhouse has brought joy to more than 30 children facing serious illness, and Hannah’s steady leadership has played a vital role in making that impact possible.
In celebration of this honor, the Premeer Gives Back Foundation is proud to support Project Playhouse with a $4,950 charitable donation for 2025, helping continue its mission of hope, healing, and happiness.

In addition to this recognition, Hannah was also presented with a generous gift card donated by Sport and Leisure East Greenwich, as a token of appreciation for her outstanding service and dedication.

The Premeer Gives Back Foundation congratulates Hannah Ratcliffe on this well-deserved recognition and thanks her for being a powerful force for good in the community.
