In what
seems like the blink of an eye, the 2017 RSM Classic has come and gone! It was another wonderful year full
of new memories, winners and giving! We have so much to be proud about in this
season of thanks and giving.
What makes our tournament so unique? It’s the southern
hospitlaity and environment of Sea Island. To the 1,100 volunteers who give
their time and talents to the tournament each year, we are so grateful for your
time and warm welcome each year. To the staff at The Lodge and The Cloister, we
appreciate your making sure that our guests feel at home and that their needs
are met while they’re on the island. And to our Team RSM Members who
joined us at Sea Island, Davis Love
III, Zach Johnson, Chris DiMarco and Dru Love, thank you for taking the time to connect with our
guests and for giving them a special experience.
In addition, it was an incredible year on the ‘giving’
side. There are no words to express how much our people, clients and friends
amaze us each year by showing what stewardship is all about. RSM was pleased to
present the Davis Love Foundation with a check for $2,035,206 as a result of the firm’s employee-led Birdies Fore
Love (BFL)
campaign in connection with this year’s tournament.
Also during this year’s tournament, RSM presented a check for $10,000 to Folds of Honor, a national nonprofit focused on providing educational scholarships to spouses and children of America’s fallen and disabled service members.
“Having
Folds of Honor as an integral part of this year’s tournament was a privilege,”
said Bill Gorman, chief operating officer for RSM US LLP. “As the child of a
military family, I understand the sacrifices made by those who serve, as well
their families. Our Stars and Stripes employee network group, along with the rest
of RSM’s 9,000 people, take great pride in supporting our nation’s veterans,
and are humbled to be able to support the families of those who have been
injured or lost their lives while serving our country.”
Proceeds from this year's RSM Classic will benefit
Special Olympics, the Boys and Girls Club of Southeast Georgia and other
national and local charitable organizations aligned with the RSM US
Foundation’s mission of
building tomorrow’s middle market leaders by supporting organizations committed
to providing a more stable environment for youth in the areas of education,
hunger, housing and health as well as the mission of the Davis Love Foundation
to benefit children and their families.

RSM Classic and other golf-related news. And go ahead and mark your calendar
now for next year’s RSM Classic, which will be held Nov. 12-18, 2018.
