Chris Eubank, Chris Eubank Jnr, and Tom Hardy pitched in to help raise funds at this year’s BGC Partners’ annual Charity Day.
The day took place on 12th September and commemorates the 658 BGC staff lost on 9/11 by donating its global revenues for the day to charities worldwide. Celebrity ambassadors representing participating charities join licensed brokers on the trading floors to conduct transactions with BGC clients, with 100 per cent of the revenues from the day donated to those charities.
This year saw the Eubanks and Hardy take to the trading floor to help raise funds, with the Eubanks raising funds for Children with Cancer UK, and Hardy volunteering for Battersea Dogs & Cats Home.

Chris Eubank said:
“I’m delighted to be giving my support to Children with Cancer UK in the fight against childhood cancer. We have been proud supporters of the charity for many years and have seen first-hand the difference they have made. But while many young cancer patients now survive, there is still much more we can do. That’s why we are here today – to raise money to fund vital research that will help save young lives.”
