April is Daffodil Month!

This month, the team at RLB is raising money towards the Canadian Cancer Society to help fight against cancer. Did you know about 2 in 5 Canadians will develop cancer in their lifetimes, and 1 in 4 will die of the disease (Canadian Cancer Statistics, 2016). The Canadian Cancer Society is a national, community-based organization of volunteers aiming to eradicate cancer and enhance the quality of life of people living with this disease. Daffodils symbolize hope and joy, and upon donating to the cause, each individual receives a daffodil pin to raise awareness.

At RLB, we love helping the community. For the month of April, we are raising funds through participating in Dress-Down Fridays and the Paint the Town Yellow photo contest! All three of our offices will be participating in this event by dressing in yellow, getting creative, and holding up props!
