Wall Street loves giving back.
Wall Street loves celebrities.
Why not combine the two and raise money for charity?
On May 2, 2017, BTIG held its 15th annual Charity Day where the broker donated a portion of commissions collected for trades to several charities. The hook was that when a client called into the broker to place an order they got connected to a TV, sports and other celebrity who is acting as the executing sales trader. This year featured the likes ofBeth Ostrosky Stern,Brian Cashman, CC Sabathia,Eli Manning, Grant Hill, Mark Messier, Petra Nemcova and Victor Cruz.
The 2017 event raised more than $5 million.
