Spurs Legends King and Ardiles Trade for Charity at BGC Event

TOTTENHAM Hotspur Legends Ledley King and Ossie Ardiles tried their hand at trading recently at the annual BGC Charity Day. The pair got stuck in for Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice as part of their partnership with Tottenham Hotspur which started in 2016.

Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice provides palliative care for over 350 children who have life-limiting or life-threatening conditions and their families. They believe that every baby, child and young person who is seriously unwell, and their loved ones, should have access to expert and compassionate palliative care from the point of diagnosis. They provide exceptional care, fun activities and days out, offering families the chance to do things they never thought possible. They help those they support to enjoy life as parents and children, not carers and patients so they can make the most of every day.

Ossie Ardiles said:

“It was an honour to be here today and support Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice, with whom the Club has such a good relationship. It was fantastic to raise money for them and have some fun too!”

Ledley King said:

“I was delighted to support Noah’s Ark Children’s Hospice, the official charity partner of the Club. The charity supports children and families growing through unbelievably difficult situations and helps them make the most of every day. It was a pleasure to do our bit to support them at this year’s BGC Charity Day.”

Also in attendance were a host of well-known names from the worlds of sport and entertainment who all came together to raise money for their good causes. They hit the BGC Group, Inc (Nasdaq: BGC) trading floors in support of the 20^th annual BGC Charity Day, to raise money for charitable causes in commemoration of BGC’s 658 colleagues and the 61 Eurobrokers employees who tragically lost their lives in the World Trade Centre attacks in 2001.

Sean Windeatt, BGC Group’s Chief Operating Officer, said:

“Every year, September 11^th remains a day very close to our hearts and I am incredibly proud to be hosting our 20th Charity Day in memory of our 658 friends and colleagues, 61 Eurobrokers employees and all those affected on that terrible day in 2001. We have now raised in excess of $200 million globally since Charity Day’s inception 20 years ago, an outstanding achievement, which would not be possible without the incredible support of our clients, staff and the charities involved each year.

“BGC Charity Day continues to serve as a beacon of hope and as a model for how businesses can contribute meaningfully to society during challenging times. BGC Charity Day is our way of turning a tragic day into one that is positive and uplifting by helping others.”

In addition to BGC’s offices in London, Charity Day 2024 will take place across several BGC and its affiliated companies’ international offices, including New York, Paris, Singapore, Hong Kong, São Paulo and Sydney.
