Generosity Knows No Bounds with the Francis Family

In 2017, the CEO of the R&R Family of Companies, Richard S. Francis’ grandson Lex was diagnosed with autism. Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges. As a grandfather he knew he had to do something, as a business owner he knew he could do more.

In November of 2021, Rich and his wife Kathie donated $100,000 to form an autism foundation, The XEL Foundation, for research and inclusion. That year the rate of autism was 1 in 54. That same day, Rich asked R&R employees to consider donating $.54 for every load moved, which the R&R Family of Companies would match. 

Everyone at The XEL FOUNDATION is forever grateful for the continued generosity of the Francis family. 

Special Thanks to the Donors from the R&R Family of Companies

Donors from the R&R Family of Companies in the transportation industry are committed to funding autism research and inclusion. Employees have voluntarily pledged that 54 cents of every truckload they move will be donated to The XEL FOUNDATION. 54 cents represents the 1 in 54 children diagnosed with autism based on CDC statistics in 2021 when the foundation was established. The R&R Family of Companies also matches the 54 cents of those participating. 

If you are interested in a donation program for your company, please reach out us.
