On Charity Day, The Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund – in conjunction with Cantor Fitzgerald and its affiliate BGC Partners – commemorates our 658 colleagues and 61 Eurobrokers employees who perished on September 11, 2001.
Started by the Fund’s President and Co-Founder Edie Lutnick and with the ongoing support of Cantor Fitzgerald CEO Howard Lutnick, Charity Day is our Firm’s way of turning a tragic day into one that is dedicated to helping others in our community.
The Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund gives 100% of our global revenues on Charity Day to the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund and dozens of charities around the world. This year’s Charity Day raised approximately $12 million for hundreds of charities. Since its inception, Charity Day has raised approximately $137 million globally.
