RBC Capital Markets proudly hosted our annual RBC Charity Day for the Kids event on June 21, 2023, uniting over 6,400 employees in 24 cities around the globe in celebration of our culture of philanthropy and giving back.
“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. As part of that commitment, we build long-term strategic partnerships with charities that empower children and support their families. Youth focus areas include poverty, physical and mental health, education and much more.
Thanks to 2023 Charity Day for the Kids, RBC’s additional contributions will allow us to fund 36 years of college scholarships and educational counseling for students who have lost a parent in the line of duty, like me.
