Chinese snooker star Ding Junhui joined top snooker players and other stars from film, sport, television and music at inter-dealer broker BGC's 3rd Annual Charity Day on September 11 in London to help raise funds for a number of charities including The Paul Hunter Foundation, which Ding represented.
In total, over US$6 million was raised for good causes on the day bringing the total raised over three years to US$15 million. The BGC Charity Day is held every year on September 11 to commemorate those lost in the world trade center tragedy. Brokers from BGC's 15 worldwide offices gave up their commissions on the day to raise money. Events in London took place at BGC's headquarters in Canary Wharf, the heart of London's financial district.
Ding, the number one ranked snooker player in China, assisted BGC brokers executing trades over the phone and was joined on the trading floor by other snooker personalities. Along with other guests they were treated to a special 'trick-shot' exhibition by six times World Champion Steve Davis with a little help from a number of children from selected charities including the Children Cancer Foundation in Singapore.
Ding was also joined by Manchester United Manager Sir Alex Ferguson who also helped to complete trades with BGC brokers.
BGC is a leading inter-dealer brokerage firm that was separated out from Cantor Fitzgerald in 2004. Since BGC's inception, the company has continued its long legacy of fundraising on behalf of a wide range of charitable causes.
