NEW YORK, September 3, 2021 Today, U.S. Capital Markets and RBC Wealth Management – U.S. announced a $50,000 donation to support the American Red Cross and its work in disaster relief. The Red Cross has been helping Americans affected by damages and displacements caused by Hurricane Ida.

“We are saddened by the widespread damage and loss left in the wake of Hurricane Ida,” said Tom Sagissor, president of RBC Wealth Management-U.S. “As a company with a long history of supporting the communities where we do business, it’s important to us to be able to partner with the American Red Cross to provide some relief and assistance to those living in the areas impacted by this devastating storm.”

“Hurricane Ida devastated areas in Louisiana, Mississippi and parts of the eastern U.S. and our hearts go out to the affected communities as they navigate rebuilding and repairing damages. We are proud to support impacted communities through the American Red Cross Disaster Relief program as they provide aid to those in need during this difficult time,” noted John Thurlow, U.S. Chief Operating Officer, U.S. Capital Markets.
