Introduced in 2002, Charity Day extends invitations to celebrities and special guests to participate alongside Cantor Fitzgerald's licensed brokers on the trading floor. Together, they engage in transactions aimed at raising funds for charitable causes.

This year's roster of celebrity ambassadors includes Nicole Kidman and her husband, Keith Urban, Charlize Theron, Patrick Dempsey, Matthew McConaughey, Regina Hall, and former President Bill Clinton.

Soon after 9/11, the relief fund was established and has since furnished $180 million in immediate aid and health benefits to the families of its deceased employees.

The fund has contributed nearly $380 million, including donations to 150 different organizations.

To commemorate its 22nd anniversary, Cantor Fitzgerald is generously donating all of its global business revenue on Monday.

These disasters include hurricanes in Puerto Rico, Superstorm Sandy in New York, Oklahoma tornadoes, and California wildfires. Eddie Lutnick is the brother of Howard Lutnick and serves as the CEO of the Relief Fund.
