Living our Values: Birdies Fore Love

Stewardship is a value that RSM has held throughout its 90-plus year history. Through stewardship, we better our firm, develop our people and support our local communities. Each year, RSM partners with the Davis Love Foundation, the host organization of The RSM Classic, a PGA Tour event, to raise funds to assist children and their families through our Birdies Fore Love (BFL) program. Over the last eight years, RSM has donated more than $9 million dollars through BFL to charities where our employees work and live!

This year, RSM employees, partners, and friends, with a generous match from the RSM US Foundation, were able to donate more than $2 million, which benefited over 70 local charities.

Employee champions in each of our 90 local offices organize the fundraising for Birdies Fore Love. In the Chicagoland offices, employees planned bake sales and silent auctions to help raise funds.  All funds raised benefit the three charities the office is supporting this year: Greater Chicago Food Depository, Boys and Girls Club of Chicago, and Ronald McDonald House.

“I am deeply proud and taken aback by the generosity of RSM’s network of donors,” said John Davitt, the 2017 Birdies Fore Love national co-leader. “I truly believe that the stewardship culture at RSM transcends charitable programs and is woven into the very nature of our client service.”
