Business Wire India Jefferies announced today a total donation to over 85 different charities of $9.25 million as a result of a firmwide global effort to raise money to honor the memory of their late CFO Peg Broadbent, who was a victim of this terrible disease. Through the firm’s Global Coronavirus Relief Charity Day held May 27th, Jefferies’ clients helped to generate $7.65 million in donated net trading commissions. In addition, Jefferies as a firm will donate $1 million directly, and voluntary donations from Jefferies’ 3,822 employees totaled $600,000. “We could not be prouder of our entire Jefferies family for raising $9.25 million and are greatly appreciative of the incredible partnership our clients have shown us in supporting our fight against Covid-19. The full $9.25 million will be wired today and go to direct relief efforts at over 85 worthy global charities who are each in the front lines helping those most impacted by the Coronavirus global pandemic. We went broadly to a large number of charities globally as this is truly a tragedy that affects all of us and, in particular, those who are most disadvantaged and in the greatest need. The charities selected are both big and small and represent everything from food banks, child care services, assistance with PPE and other medical supplies, support for front line medical workers, assistance for afflicted military personnel, local teen centers, support for police and fire, workforce training and re-training and many other worthy areas that are most in need. We thank our employees and clients for aiding in the selection of many of these remarkable charities. Finally, all of us at Jefferies would like to thank all the dedicated professionals working tirelessly on the front line to help those in need. They are the true heroes whom we are honored to help in Peg’s name.” Contributions in the following amounts will be immediately distributed to these respected organizations: | NYC Mayor’s Fund | Peg’s Cure | | $ 150,000 | | All Hands and Hearts | | $ 150,000 | | American Heart Association | | $ 150,000 | | Bowery Mission | | $ 150,000 | | Hackensack Meridian Health Foundation | | $ 150,000 | | Houston Police Foundation | | $ 150,000 | | International Rescue Committee | | $ 150,000 | | Robin Hood Foundation | | $ 150,000 | | Strive | | $ 150,000 | | The Bass Foundation | | $ 150,000 | | World Central Kitchen | | $ 150,000 | | We Can #TogetherFromHome | | $ 100,000 | | Achievement First | | $ 100,000 | | Aktion Deutschland Hilft | | $ 100,000 | | Alzheimer’s Association | | $ 100,000 | | Ambitious About Autism | | $ 100,000 | | Barnardo’s | | $ 100,000 | | BMS Family Health and Wellness Center | | $ 100,000 | | Bob Woodruff Foundation | | $ 100,000 | | Boys & Girls Clubs of the Austin Area | | $ 100,000 | | Brewers Community Foundation | | $ 100,000 | | Buttle UK | | $ 100,000 | | Central Texas Food Bank | | $ 100,000 | | Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust | | $ 100,000 | | Chrysalis | | $ 100,000 | | City Harvest | | $ 100,000 | | Citymeals on Wheels | | $ 100,000 | | Columbia Children's Hospital | | $ 100,000 | | Community Food Bank of New Jersey | | $ 100,000 | | Covenant House | | $ 100,000 | | Doctors Without Borders | | $ 100,000 | | East High – EOP (Education Partnership Organization) | | $ 100,000 | | Elmhurst Hospital Charity | | $ 100,000 | | Family Promise of Bergen County | | $ 100,000 | | FarmLink | | $ 100,000 | | Feeding America | | $ 100,000 | | Food Bank For New York City | | $ 100,000 | | Foodlink | | $ 100,000 | | Habitat for Humanity Japan | | $ 100,000 | | Hance Family Foundation | | $ 100,000 | | Humanity & Inclusion | | $ 100,000 | | Hunger Free America | | $ 100,000 | | Imperial Health Charity | | $ 100,000 | | Kids in Crisis | | $ 100,000 | | Kohka Foundation | | $ 100,000 | | Lahey Clinic Foundation | | $ 100,000 | | Mail Force Charity | | $ 100,000 | | Martha’s Table | | $ 100,000 | | Médecins Sans Frontières | | $ 100,000 | | Memorial Hermann Foundation | | $ 100,000 | | My Sister's Place | | $ 100,000 | | National Emergencies Trust | | $ 100,000 | | Navajo Nation Covid-19 Relief Fund | | $ 100,000 | | Nazareth Housing | | $ 100,000 | | Neighbourly Community Fund | | $ 100,000 | | NHS Charities Together | | $ 100,000 | | Northwell Health's COVID-19 Emergency Fund | | $ 100,000 | | NYU Langone | | $ 100,000 | | Off Their Plate | | $ 100,000 | | Oxfam India | | $ 100,000 | | Philippine Disaster Resilience Foundation | | $ 100,000 | | Red Hook Initiative | | $ 100,000 | | Rosetree Trust | | $ 100,000 | | Royal College of Nursing Foundation | | $ 100,000 | | RVNAhealth | | $ 100,000 | | Second Harvest | | $ 100,000 | | Sempre Con Voi (Always with You) | | $ 100,000 | | St Michael’s House | | $ 100,000 | | TBD 1 | | $ 100,000 | | TBD 2 | | $ 100,000 | | TBD 3 | | $ 100,000 | | TCF Bank | | $ 100,000 | | The Care Workers Charity | | $ 100,000 | | The River Fund New York | | $ 100,000 | | The United Way of Central Indiana COVID-19 Relief Fund | | $ 100,000 | | The World Health Organization (WHO) | | $ 100,000 | | Trinity's Services & Food for the Homeless | | $ 100,000 | | The Trussell Trust | | $ 100,000 | | UNICEF | | $ 100,000 | | UR Medicine Home Care’s Meals on Wheels | | $ 100,000 | | URMC COVID-19 Emergency Fund | | $ 100,000 | | Valpo Surf Project, Inc. | | $ 100,000 | | Volunteers of Legal Service | | $ 100,000 | | Our Dream Their Smile | | $ 100,000 | | West Side Campaign Against Hunger | | $ 100,000 | | Women United in Philanthropy | | $ 100,000 | | Women's Center of Greater Danbury | | $ 100,000 | | | |
