Each year, BGC and Cantor Fitzgerald donate 100% of their global income generated on the charity day to the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund and to dozens of charities around the world. ” Since it was first established 12 years ago, Charity Day has symbolized the importance of our company to make a difference in the world and to pay a positive tribute to our loved ones on this anniversary of a day that is in our memory forever, “said Howard W. Lutnick, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BGC Partners. Held in memory of 658 Cantor employees and 61 Eurobrokers lost in 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, Charity Day, together with the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, has expanded its mission to support charitable causes worldwide.
