TORONTO, June 22, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- RBC Capital Markets
hosted its annual RBC Charity Day for the Kids event yesterday,
uniting over 6,400 employees in 24 cities around the globe in
celebration of its culture of philanthropy and giving back. More
than 60 youth-focused charities joined employees activities
including charity presentations and floor walks throughout the day,
which concluded with a US$5 million
donation to the charities.
"We firmly believe that our success is measured not only by
financial performance, but by the positive influence that we have
on the community," said Derek
Neldner, CEO & group head, RBC Capital Markets. "We
are immensely grateful to partner with remarkable charitable
organizations that are making a tangible difference in the lives of
children, young people, and their families, and also to our
employees and clients for their tremendous support and
engagement."
RBC is committed to helping clients thrive and communities
prosper, and fundamental to that is building long-lasting,
productive partnerships with charities that empower children and
youth, and support them and their families through difficulties
such as poverty, physical and mental ill-health, with facilitating
end-of-life care for terminally ill children, and much more.
Each year, RBC makes significant charitable contributions and
employees dedicate thousands of volunteering hours to support
charity partners. In 2015, its Capital Markets division established
RBC Charity Day for the Kids as a day to recognize the crucial work
of youth-focused charities in the communities it operates. Formerly
known as RBC Trade for the Kids, the event has expanded rapidly
since its inception, reaching more corners of the globe than ever
before, and benefitting more than 140 charity partners with over
US$30 million in total donations to
date.
