History

RBC has a long-standing tradition of supporting the communities in which we live and work. We are proud to be the title sponsor of the RBC Race for the Kids on Saturday, August 19th benefitting Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest. 

RBC Race for the Kids is an exciting global, cross-platform event that began in 2009 in New York, and has launched in 17 other cities around the world. Initiated by RBC Capital Markets, these highly-visible community events have engaged more than 35,000 runners, including RBC employees, the general public and numerous other corporate sponsors.

Each year, a growing number of RBC employees, families, and friends participate in RBC Race for the Kids, resulting in significant funds raised for children’s charities around the globe. 

Since 2014, RBC Race for the Kids has partnered with Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest to raise funds in support of "the House that Love Built."

Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest

Ronald McDonald House Charities, Upper Midwest was established in October 1979 when a group of parents, physicians and McDonald's owner operators purchased and renovated an 8-bedroom house near the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Since that time, the organization has grown to include five locations, four in the Twin Cities and one in Duluth, MN.

Every year, RMHC-UM serves thousands of families with seriously ill and injured children undergoing treatment at one of our four partner hospitals. In addition to meeting their basic daily needs, our programming addresses the health and well-being of all family members, enabling them to cope more effectively with their child's health crisis.

Because families are never asked to pay for our programs and services, funds raised at the RBC Race for the Kids directly impact our ability to provide complimentary lodging, day-use rooms, a comprehensive meal program, laundry and exercise facilities, extensive family programing, an onsite K-12 school and more. Thank you for your commitment to the House that Love Built.
