MEDIA RELEASE Photo attached RBC Royal Bank Supports Palliative Care Brockville—The 17th Annual Palliative Care Golf Tournament scored a late donation for local palliative care with the presentation of $3000 from Brockville RBC Royal Bank November 9. The funds will go to support the Brockville and District Hospice Palliative Care Service that operates from Brockville General Hospital. “Once again,” says Dave Publow, Co-Chair of the tournament with Jim Cooper, “this is indicative of the commitment to the community by RBC Royal Bank. They have been an outstanding supporter of the tournament in some form since its inception 17 years ago.” Presenting the cheque from RBC’s Brockville Main Branch were Kent Henderson, Financial Planner, and Marlene Geggie, Manager—with the help of Royal Bank of Canada’s Regional Vice President Michael Adamcryck. “Most of our donations are local to the branches,” says Adamcryck. “They are employee-driven as we like to direct funding toward causes our people care about. However, as one of the largest companies in Canada, we also have a responsibility to support national causes. “Kent Henderson approached us about the Palliative Care service,” Adamcryck continues. “Historically, we have supported the service as it is becoming more important in the community.” The 17th Annual Palliative Care Golf Tournament was held September 1, 2010—raising $135,000 for palliative care in Brockville and area. All smiles for palliative care are (l – r) BGH staff Sherry Anderson, Tournament Co-Chair Dave Publow, RBC Regional Vice President Michael Adamcryck, RBC Financial Planner Kent Henderson, RBC Manager Marlene Geggie, Tournament Co-Chair Jim Cooper, and BGH staff Joan Schwarze.
