I am working on an assignment that I wanted to share with you. Perhaps you can help.
I’m looking for celebrities to participate in this year’s Cantor Fitzgerald Charity Day which, of course, takes place on Monday, September 11th, 2017 at the company’s New York office.
Can you believe it’s been 16 years since that tragic day?
Charity Day is significant at Cantor Fitzgerald as we all remember 658 friends and colleagues who lost their lives on 9/11. They are raising money for a number of different charities and I am helping them. I am assisting with the Fisher Center for Alzheimer’s Research Foundation. I am a board member.
This is a clip from last year’s event. Click here.
They raised approximately $12 million globally in a single day last year across Cantor, BGC & GFI, all of which was donated to charity. Since inception, Charity Day has raised approximately $137 million.
This is an outstanding achievement, and we look forward to once again raising large amounts for charitable causes.
We are thrilled that this year’s participating charities are bringing some great celebrity ambassadors to visit Cantor Fitzgerald’s trading floors.
Here are just some of the initial celebrities confirmed to participate in this year’s Charity Day:
Anna Sophia Robb
