RBC Capital Markets hosted its 11th annual Charity Day on Tuesday, themed ‘Powered by Purpose, United for Kids.’ This global initiative brings together employees to support organizations dedicated to improving children’s lives and strengthening communities. For the 2025 edition, RBC pledged a substantial US$7 million donation to over 70 youth-focused organizations across 13 countries, funding programs that aim to create brighter futures and more resilient communities. In a notable partnership, the Capital Markets team in Limegrove, Holetown, selected the Cancer Society as its 2025 charity recipient. The Cancer Society is renowned for its comprehensive approach to cancer prevention, detection, care, and wellness. RBC’s US$50,000 donation will specifically support childhood cancer treatment. Tanya Tempro, representing RBC Capital Markets, emphasized the significance of the day, stating, ‘This is an opportunity to strengthen our ties with non-profits, showcasing the collective impact of our efforts and engaging in activities that align with our mission to help clients thrive and communities prosper.’ She highlighted the need for individualized, multimodal treatment plans and compassionate care for children and their families. Dr. Greg Padmore, accepting the donation on behalf of the Cancer Society, detailed the organization’s multifaceted support for families affected by childhood cancer. This includes financial aid for medical expenses, free transportation to hospital appointments, and assistance with nutritional and educational needs. The Society also covers medication costs and facilitates overseas travel for treatment. Over the years, the Cancer Society has been a steadfast supporter of the Children’s Ward at Queen Elizabeth Hospital, donating essential appliances, books, games, and toys to enhance the care environment. Dr. Padmore expressed gratitude to RBC Capital Markets for their partnership, which eases the burden on families navigating childhood cancer.
