BGC Group's annual Charity Day on September 11, 2026, raised US$16 million (£12 million) for charities in the UK and worldwide by donating 100% of trading commissions generated that day, with roughly 50 celebrities including Dame Helen Mirren, Tom Hardy and Hugh Grant participating as brokers. Since 2005, the initiative has raised a global total of US$250 million (£186 million).
