Children’s Health Foundation celebrates RBC as change-makers, showing support for over 25-years.
The world shifted in unimaginable ways this past year, which caused uncertainty for both Children’s Health Foundation and the children and families we serve.
Our community partners, the London team at RBC Wealth Management, adapted to fit our new normal and provide unwavering support in an evolving world. The RBC Dominion Securities team showed the same dedication this year as they committed to be title sponsors for the 32nd Annual Children’s Golf Classic, which raised $280,867 (net) for our health care partners! We are so excited to once again watch this wonderful event create positive change for children facing disease, injury and disability.
RBC’s commitment allows Children’s Health Foundation to continue its “direct and powerful impact on improving the lives of children.” ~ Bryan Vickers, Portfolio Manager, RBC Dominion Securities.
Children’s Health Foundation is proud to celebrate RBC as a long-standing partner in improving paediatric care for our region. Over the past decade, RBC has donated more than $2.8 million toward Children’s Hospital at London Health Sciences Centre, TVCC and Children’s Health Research Institute.
“All children deserve to have the opportunity to live a full and productive life. And all the staff involved & dedicated to their care need to have the financial resources to do their jobs effectively. When thought of in that light, it was an easy decision to make Children’s Hospital a focus of my charitable causes.” ~ Michael Skochinski, Investment Advisor, Skochinski Wealth Management Group of RBC Dominion Securities
In 2021, recognizing the impact of the global pandemic, RBC renewed their commitment to kids’ health providing over $100,000 in donations, sponsorship and events to various causes. While families experienced fear, isolation and stress due to COVID-19, RBC deepened their support to help provide our kids with the best possible care.
“Children teach us to be ourselves, be kind to others, kind to animals and be the voice of change. How can we as adults not take their example and be the change for them and help when in need?” ~ Carol Fickling, Portfolio Manager, Wealth Advisor & Financial Planner, RBC Wealth Management Group
“Having been a volunteer for over 35 years for the local Children’s Hospital, I’ve come to realize children are both innocent and vulnerable, and need people to advocate for them and support their unique medical needs. Our children and now grandchildren were born there and it’s a tremendous feeling of security to know we have world class care right here in our backyard.” ~ Vito Finucci, Portfolio Manager, The Finucci Janitis Wealth Management Group, RBC Dominion Securities
For RBC, being the change means helping provide the best possible care for kids in our region, as well as hope, relief and support for their families.
Supporters like RBC create change. They ensure frontline health professionals can be bold, agile and innovative. Children’s Golf Classic brings those supporters together to listen to a family’s life-changing story and tune-in to why they give.
“Children’s hospital, TVCC and the Children’s Health Research Institute are vital organizations in our community that improve and save the lives of children each minute of every day. I’ve been proud to support the amazing work of these organizations through the Children’s Health Foundation and the Annual Golf Classic each year and look forward to many years ahead.” ~ Jessica Thomas, Portfolio Manager and Financial Planner, RBC Dominion Securities
“Children’s Health Foundation represents a compelling support network for health care and youth spanning the London region, our “home,” but also province wide. As a former board member I continue to be moved by the dedication of their volunteers, board and the deep bench strength of highly skilled professionals at the Foundation” ~ Eric Janitis, Portfolio Manager, RBC Wealth Management, The Finucci Janitis Wealth Management Group
