TESTIMONIALS
“What a super event. It was not only special because of the help Cantor is now giving to end modern day slavery in the United States and abroad, but also to honor Cantor employees, one of which was my business school classmate who was working at Cantor the day of the tragedy. I was towing a hat during Charity Day in memory of her and the other 17 Michigan Wolverines at Cantor that day. Your traders were all great eggs and I think I echo the sentiment from my colleague Natalie Morales that it was all in good spirit for a good cause. Look forward to the event next year–and thank you to you and your organization’s leadership.”
- Richard Lui, Not For Sale Campaign
“It truly was an honor to be a part of such an important event. The day was full of strong emotions both sadness in remembering the tragedy of the day and joy in seeing how CF’s dedication to the 9/11 families and now other charities (including ours) really makes a difference… Thank you for including us and we look forward to being able to join you again next year.”
