At RWAM we believe in giving back to the community that supports us. We support organizations and individuals whose programs are community oriented. In particular, we have a special commitment to improving the quality of life for our youth. Our community involvement takes many forms.

In December, RWAM and PIB joined a number of other corporate sponsors to support Crosby's Challenge for Children's a month-long fund-raising campaign for Children's Hospital at London Health Sciences Centre, the regional paediatric referral centre for southwestern Ontario, and Children's Health Research Institute, the third largest children's research institute in Canada.

RWAM and PIB specifically sponsored 15 year-old Stratford teen Brittany, an active hockey player, who was diagnosed with Hodgkins' Lymphoma earlier in the year.

As corporate sponsors, we invited our insurance carriers, our employee benefit specialists and advisors, and our clients to join with us in contributing to Crosby's Challenge. The corporate sponsors as a team had agreed to match all individual contributions up to a total of $250,000.

With your help, in just 31 days, Crosby's Challenge raised an amazing $836,279!

What a feat! On behalf of RWAM and PIB, thank you to everyone who donated to this worthwhile cause. Your generosity is helping ensure that children have their specialized health care needs met so they can fulfill their dreams of a healthy future.

Together, we are raising hope for children and their families.
