Our Worthy Causes

It has been said that one should give — and give generously — without the expectation of getting anything in return. But it’s nice to be able to tell all our colleagues that the support you give us doesn’t stop here. Your support is the platform upon which we, in turn, support wonderful local charities and causes. Not only are Royal’s employees and myself integral players in deciding what causes to support, but so are our colleagues — and you can, too! Each quarter, one colleague and his or her firm pick the cause that they would like to support. So help us give and, along the way, inspire others to do the same. We are very proud of who we are, what we stand for, and the causes we’ve supported.
