Royal Bank of Canada (RY), Canada’s second-largest bank, announced Monday that the RBC Race for the Kids will return on October 16-17, 2021, as a weekend of virtual events globally. It will offer attendees a revamped virtual experience through a new mobile app.
RBC encourages participants to run, walk, or roll independently — or with friends and family — while observing the health guidelines of their region.
No matter where participants are physically located, they can choose to support any of the 35 partner charities during the registration process. All of the partners provide essential support and services to youth in their communities.
Additionally, RBC has pledged C$13 million to food security, mental health, and strategic preparedness initiatives in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. (See Royal Bank of Canada stock charts on TipRanks)
