Imagine, A Center for coping with Loss, was extremely grateful that Kimiko Glenn, from Orange is the New Black, volunteered once again to be its celebrity ambassador at this year’s Cantor Fitzgerald Charity Day on September 11. Each year Cantor Fitzgerald and its affiliates, BGC Partners and GFI Group, in conjunction with the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund, commemorate their 658 friends and colleagues and 61 Euro Brokers employees who perished on September 11, 2001, by distributing 100% of the charity day’s global revenues to the Cantor Fitzgerald Relief Fund and selected charities around the world.
Imagine was honored to be selected to participate in this event for the second year in a row and to once again have actor Kimiko Glenn as its celebrity ambassador. “We are so grateful to Cantor Fitzgerald and to Kimiko for saying yes to our request to participate in the day on behalf of Imagine,” said Mary Robinson, Imagine Executive Director. “Year after year, Cantor Fitzgerald, through grit and perseverance, has been able to turn the trauma and devastation of the day into a contribution to the world, donating millions to charities around the world. Our nonprofit, which offers grief support services to children and families, is so fortunate to be one of them.”
