Join the RBC Blue Water Day Wave: June 10, 2011 28 May 11

RBC Blue Water logo June 10, 2011 is the 2nd annual, Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) Blue Water Day, when RBC publicly celebrates its support for water. The goal for 2011 is an online wave of support in a virtual sports stadium created on Facebook.

To participate, simply upload your photo into a blue wave avatars, and include a message about water if you're so inclined. For every seat that's filled in the stadium, RBC will donate $1 to the World Wildlife Fund, up to $100,000, so the WWF-Canada can protect water, the world's most precious natural resource.

The RBC Blue Water Project is a 10-year, $50 million global commitment to protect freshwater. Launched in 2007, this is the most ambitious philanthropic program in RBC's history. RBC has pledged more than $28 million in charitable grants to 400+ organizations around the world. The fund promotes responsible water use with employees and clients, and supports initiatives that encourage growth of water-related businesses.
