The day was full of strong emotions both sadness in remembering the tragedy of the day and joy in seeing how CF’s dedication to the 9/11 families and now other charities (including ours) really makes a difference… Thank you for including us and we look forward to being able to join you again next year.” “What a super event. It was not only special - Andrew Kellner, because of the help Cantor is now giving to end Kellner Family Pediatric Liver Disease Foundation modern day slavery in the United States and abroad, but also to honor Cantor employees, one of which was my business school classmate who was working at Cantor the day of the tragedy. I was towing a hat during Charity Day in memory of her and the other 17 Michigan Wolverines at Cantor that day. Your traders were all great eggs and I think I echo the sentiment from my colleague Natalie Morales that it was all in good spirit for a good cause. Look forward to the event next year–and thank you to you and your organization’s leadership.” “It was an honor to participate. What a great thing Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund is doing on Cantor Fitzgerald Charity Day – such a wonderful living tribute to all the lives lost on 9/11, turning the day into a day of good and positive impact on the lives of so many.” The GO Campaign - Richard Lui, Not For Sale Campaign “I am in awe of the incredible energy that you and your amazing team bring to creating and supporting this day and the dedication of each member of the Cantor team to the vision and impact of Charity Day.
