INVESTING IN WHAT
MATTERS MOST
Over nearly four decades in the 昀椀 nancial services industry,
Darlene Hybels has found much to appreciate about the
昀椀 nancial services 昀椀 rm she calls her professional home.
A CFP® Professional and Senior Vice President of Investments
at the Kalamazoo branch of Raymond James & Associates,
Inc., Darlene points to the company’s service-昀椀 rst philosophy,
the genuine care they show for their employees, and their
generosity in communities across the globe. But it was the
unwavering commitment to local impact that inspired her to
become a longtime United Way supporter – and a Tocqueville
Society member.
“They don’t just talk the talk,” she said, “they walk the talk. And it
starts at the top.”
Following Raymond James’ acquisition of Roney & Co, LLC in
1999, a $5,000 match for United Way donations was offered
employee donations. Not wanting to leave dollars on the
table that could help people in the community, she made her
pledge and has been doing so ever since. Raymond James now
matches donations of up to $10,000.
“It’s very generous,” Darlene said. “To me, it’s a way to increase
my gift. I never went without food or was unhoused, but I
always wanted to give back because I’m very grateful
for what I have.”
For more than 54 years, Raymond James has
partnered with United Way to strengthen
communities like ours, with employee donors
like Darlene leading the way.
