ICAP 17th Annual Global Charity Day

New York, 9 December, 2009 – Hall of Fame golfer Annika Sorenstam will participate in ICAP’s 17th annual global Charity Day on Wednesday, December 9, 2009. On this day, ICAP, the world’s premier interdealer broker, will donate 100% of company revenues and commissions to a selection of over 120 charities around the world, including the ANNIKA Foundation. The foundation is Annika’s charitable arm that teaches children the importance of living a healthy, active lifestyle through fitness and nutrition and offers aspiring junior golfers opportunities to pursue their dreams.

As part of the day’s activities, Annika will visit the ICAP offices in Jersey City, N.J. to rally employee enthusiasm and interact with clients to help boost trading volumes. Prince William, Prince Harry, Bill Clinton, actors Meryl Streep and Denzel Washington, and musicians Jon Bon Jovi and Elton John have been a few of those who have lent their support at ICAP offices in past years.

Since the inception of ICAP Charity Day, ICAP and its customers in over 50 countries have raised funds for over 700 well-deserving charities globally. This year, ICAP will be supporting a further 120 charities globally, almost 30 in North America alone. Last year, $16.3 million was raised on Charity Day, bringing the total to over $100 million since 1993. These funds went towards such diverse programs in North America as helping sick children, supporting literacy, and funding cancer research.
