RSM Canada donates $84,000 through Birdies Fore Love

RSM Canada, the leading global provider of audit, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market, was pleased to present Camp Oochigeas (Camp Ooch) with a cheque valued at $84,067.36 through the firm’s Volunteer Day and Birdies Fore Love charitable giving efforts for 2018.

Camp Ooch is an organization dedicated to providing recreational programming for children affected by cancer to offer them a moment of respite from their illnesses. The program includes an overnight camp in Ontario’s Muskoka region, with state-of-the-art facilities that allow children to continue with cancer treatment during their time at camp.

 “At RSM, stewardship is one of our core values,” said Harry Blum, national managing partner with RSM Canada. “As 2018 represented RSM Canada’s initial participation in the Birdies Fore Love fundraising efforts, we are extremely proud of the outcome. Through our staff’s dedication and the matching grants of the RSM US Foundation, we by far exceeded our goal of raising $25,000.”

“We are very grateful for RSM’s support in giving the gift of Ooch to these children and their families,” said Alex Robertson, CEO with Camp Oochigeas. “Through these efforts, we will be able to make a meaningful difference in the lives of these families by sending 42 children to Camp Ooch for a week.”

Supported with a matching donation from the RSM US Foundation, RSM’s staff in the United States and Canada raised funds for non-profit organizations focused on enhancing educational outcomes and the quality of life for children and families. In 2018, Birdies Fore Love raised more than US$2.8 million.
