Truist Bank
Standing with Thompson, Standing for Change
It’s something truly powerful when a community comes together to uplift its own. Truist Bank, one of the largest and most engaged businesses in our region, has done just that. Through generous donations of time, talent, and treasure, Truist has stepped into the lives of hundreds of children and families supported by Thompson.
Their impact goes beyond dollars. Truist has embraced our belief that changing lives changes everything, showing up with purpose and compassion to help rewrite the future for the next generation. As Thompson’s 2025 Premiere Partner, Truist continues to lead by example—walking alongside every child we serve until the work is done.
RBC’s support of Thompson Child & Family Focus has been a meaningful way for our team to give back to the Charlotte community and support children and families in need.
Through our National Volunteer Day, our 40-person team was able to spend a full day working alongside the Thompson team at their Matthews campus, which provided rewarding hands-on experience in support of the organization’s efforts.
RBC is proud to support Thompson through volunteering, and we value the important work that Thompson does in the Charlotte community and beyond.
