Toronto, ON – RSM Canada – a leading global provider of audit, tax and consulting services focused on the middle market – is proud to announce that more than $190,000 was raised throughout Canada towards the firm’s 2021 Power of Love – Volunteer Week and Birdies Fore Love charitable giving campaign.
The annual campaign sees RSM employees in both Canada and the United States raise funds for charitable organizations dedicated to enhancing educational outcomes or the quality of life for children and families. In 2021, RSM offices across North America collectively raised over $5.5 million.
“In just our third year of participating in this campaign, we have once again surpassed expectations,” explained Rhonda Klosler, chief operating officer and Ontario market leader at RSM Canada. “This is a phenomenal achievement, particularly as we were again restricted to mostly virtual events in 2021 due to the pandemic. As always, I am incredibly proud of our staff for their continued efforts and am grateful to those who generously donated to our annual campaign.”
The firm’s 2021 fundraising goal was reached through various staff events, in addition to contributions from several generous external donors.
“One of RSM’s core values is stewardship and giving back to the communities where we live and work,” said Harry Blum, national managing partner at RSM Canada. “Each year, the RSM team across North America makes an impact to our communities through Volunteer Week and our Birdies Fore Love campaign. 2021 was no exception and we continue to be very proud of our firm and look forward to another successful campaign in 2022.”
“We are thrilled to have the opportunity to support local communities here in Alberta,” added Doug Kroetsch, Western Canada market leader. "The generosity of time and spirit of our staff truly reflects our 5 C's culture and I am so thankful to those who supported our 2021 fundraising efforts.”
