Bailey Kosiek, RSM’s Birdies Fore Love co-chair, shares her enthusiasm
for the firm’s premier charitable giving platform.
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 for
deserving nonprofit organizations focused on enhancing educational outcomes and
the quality of life for children and families through our Birdies Fore Love (BFL)
program. Over the last eight years, RSM has donated nearly $9 million through
BFL to charities where our employees live and work!
In
2017, RSM employees, partners and friends, with a match from the RSM US
Foundation, were able to donate
more than $2 million, which benefited 68 local charities.
Employee
champions in each of our 85 local offices organize the fundraising for Birdies
Fore Love. This month marks the kick-off for the 2018 program, and offices
across the country are already beginning a variety of entertaining fundraising activities like wiffle ball tournaments, bake sales, chili cook-offs,
putt-putt contests, pancake breakfasts, dance-a-thons, pie-in-the-face
challenges and dunk tanks!
As
the 2018 Birdies Fore Love co-leader, I am deeply proud of the enthusiasm that
our offices continue to bring to this campaign each year. It’s humbling to see
all of our employees, partners and friends of the firm come together to support
something bigger than themselves! I truly believe that the stewardship culture
at RSM transcends charitable programs and is woven into the very nature of our
client service. Although $2m is a high goal to reach, we have high hopes we
will surpass, and no doubt will have a blast in the process!
