Last week's Foundation Friday, supporting the Portage District General Hospital, saw a large contingent from the Royal Bank branch taking part.

They were led by new manager Christine Frisch, who's impressed with how the event was organized.

"It was great to have RBC out there and be recognized by the Hospital Foundation as well. And being relatively new to the area, it's really great for me to get out there and meet new people as well. So we look forward to spending more time with (Foundation Executive Director) Erin (Miller), and we look forward to next year."

RBC contributed $1000 to the Foundation at the event. Frisch talks about the donation.

"The Hospital Foundation is something that is close to everyone's heart in the Portage area, and we're all affected by it, so supporting such a great organization is something that we want to be a part of."
