CAPTRUST colleagues across the country have been getting into the giving back groove over the past several months. From writing and delivering $10,000 checks to taking days to drop off snack bags for children to delivering a stockpile of critical items for the underserved in our communities, volunteers have been on the job and active in the communities we serve.

Giving Thanks Campaign

In August, the CAPTRUST Community Foundation (CCF) celebrated its second annual Giving Day by announcing a total of $510,000 in donations going to more than 55 charities across the nation.

As part of this campaign, each CAPTRUST office was given the opportunity to allocate $10,000 to charities in its local community. Each organization’s focus must align with the CCF’s mission to benefit children in the communities we serve. The event was a follow-up to last year’s Giving Thanks campaign, where the foundation gave $450,000 to 45 nonprofits. Charities that received donations this year included:

2021 Hops for Hope

For a seventh year, CAPTRUST participated in Triangle Hops for Hope, an event that pairs corporate teams with Raleigh-area craft breweries to create an original beer to raise money for charity. This year’s competition featured brews from 31 teams. The event raised more than $290,000 to benefit Children’s Flight of Hope, a local nonprofit that provides air transportation for children to access specialized medical care. CAPTRUST’s team, The Roth IPAs, brewed a Helles Lager named Certain Circles and raised more than $3,500 for the cause. The team’s craft brew came in fifth place in the Critics’ Choice Award competition.

In August, CAPTRUST delivered 300 snack bags to the Boys & Girls Clubs of Charlotte for the club’s summer literacy program. Jeff and Carrie Davis, founders of Truth in Nature, with Charles Pyke
