BGC’S 5TH ANNUAL CHARITY DAY
09/11/2009 - By BGC PARTNERS, INC
BGC Partners, a leading international inter-dealer brokerage firm, held its fifth annual BGC Charity Day on Friday, September 11th.
BGC Partners was created as Cantor Fitzgerald re-built following the World Trade Center attacks. Cantor was the worst hit company on 9/11, losing 658 of its employees – two thirds of its workforce at the time. To commemorate those who were lost on the day, every year on September 11, 100% of BGC’s revenues are distributed to dozens of charities around the world.
‘Celebrity brokers’ helped raise money by conducting real trades with BGC’s clients (the major banks and investment banks) over the phone from the trading floor (alongside a licensed broker). From these trades, worth millions of dollars in bonds, foreign exchange, derivatives and other products, BGC surpassed last year’s total of $8 million globally by raising over $10 million, and brought the five-year total raised on BGC’s Charity Day to over $33 million.
Charities that participated this year in New York include: The Wounded Warrior Project, Boomer Esiason Foundation, The Children's Institute, Mercy Center, The Valerie Fund, Childhelp, Garden of Dreams, Jubilee Center, Bone Marrow Foundation, Coast to Coast Against Cancer, QSAC, Friends of the Fighting 69th and Harlem RBI.
