Cantor Fitzgerald will hold Charity Day on 9/11

On 9/11, Cantor Fitzgerald CEO and Chairman Howard Lutnick will be spending t🉐he day with the firm’s families who, like himself, lost loved ones in the attacks.

The company lost 658 employees, 💦including Lutnick’s brother, Gary. “We read the names and show pictu🐈res of the people we lost,” he said.

It is also Charit𒊎y Day at the firm, where employees donate the day’s pay to the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, which has distributed $280 million since it launched.

This year, the firm will be dꦡonating at least $5 million to Hurricane Harvey victims by handing out $1,000 Visa cards to 5,000 families.

On Saturday, Lutnick was awaཧrded the Intercollegiate Tennis Association’s Achie🅷vement Award.

He was captain of the Haverford College’s tennis team and is modest when it comes to his skills. “I was a Division III athlete. Let’s not overdo it,” he said. “I was impressed that they looked at my𒅌 record, but we were just duking it out with tha🃏t other Quaker college, Swathmore.”
