Toronto-based Royal Bank of Canada’s capital markets and investor and treasury services divisions hosted their first global RBC Trade for the Kids event on Thursday and will donate more than US$3 million to more than 40 youth-focused charities across the world.
“RBC Trade for the Kids is a testament to our culture of giving back to the communities where we live and work,” says Doug McGregor, chair and CEO of RBC Capital Markets and group head of capital markets and investor and treasury services. “The activities across our trading floors globally demonstrate our ongoing commitment to building lasting, engaging partnerships with charities that focus primarily on supporting youth and their families.”
On Thursday, RBC’s trading locations in Toronto, New York, London, Hong Kong, and Sydney hosted inspirational and courageous youth, their families, and charity representatives who explained to RBC employees how their support makes a difference.
The event was an extension of the regional RBC Trade for the Kids events the firm has been hosting since 2015.
