ICAP’s 31st global charity day
The ICAP company and its brokers give 100% of one day’s revenue to a select group of charities globally – guaranteeing a material donation to fund specific projects and initiatives.
ICAP’s offices in Chislehurston, Sandton, hosted its 31st ICAP Global Charity Day on December 7, where all 60 offices across 28 countries participated.
ICAP Charity Day represents a pioneering fundraising initiative that has made a significant and lasting positive impact worldwide.
According to the founding member and director of the South African office, Wayne Jackson, the ICAP Charity Day has raised more than R3 360 000 000 globally, which has been donated to more than 2 900 charitable causes around the world, directly supporting more than 7.7m people.
“This is made possible through ICAP’s position at the heart of global markets.”
He added that although ICAP is responsible for selecting the beneficiaries and making sure that the funds reach the intended recipients, the substantial revenue raised on this day is only possible because of the generous support of their clients and the hard work and effort put in by the staff.
“Without them, this would not be possible. ICAP Charity Day has grown to be an iconic day in the charity and financial calendar, capturing the imagination of our colleagues who dress up in costume on this day, our clients who pop in to encourage, and our charity partners and their celebrity ambassadors who came in to meet the brokers and support the initiative.”
Jackson said that this year they had the privilege of seeing many familiar faces come to support them. “Mac Masina, Dave Levinsohn, Bruce Fordyce, Larce Raaiman, and MacFarlane Moleli, Belinda Watts, made a special appearance in honour of the late Derek Watts, who was a staunch supporter of the ICAP Charity Day, with him having visited us for the last time on December 7, 2022.”
