BGC

BGC Partners is a leading global brokerage company servicing the financial and real estate markets.

Each year global brokerage company BGC Partners and its affiliate Cantor Fitzgerald donate 100 per cent of the global revenues generated on Charity Day to the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund and dozens of charities around the world.

The star-studded fundraising event, set up to honour the 658 Cantor Fitzgerald friends and colleagues and 61 Eurobrokers employees killed in the 9/11 World Trade Center attacks, has raised around $147 million for good causes around the world since it was set up. Action Medical Research were invited as one of the partner charities for the 12th and 13th annual Charity Days, held in BGC office in London.

Davina McCall represents Action

Action Ambassador, Davina McCall, has hit the trading floor to represent our charity at several annual BGC Charity Days.

"I had such a great time at the BGC Charity Day, and was very proud to be there as the ambassador for Action Medical Research," says Davina. She's pictured here with Aiden and his parents Fleur and Keith Mitchell. Complications at birth meant that he suffered a shortage of oxygen to his brain. Thankfully a pioneering treatment called cooling therapy was available and helped save his life. This medical breakthrough is due to a 20-year programme of research supported with significant funding from Action.
