Trading For a Cure

Single day of stock trading to benefit Florida Hospital Cancer Institute

 

WHAT:   On March 18, 2010 all of StockCross Global's trading proceeds will be donated to Florida Hospital Cancer Institute's Bone Marrow Transplant Unit. Since founder Gerry Mastrianni's passing in November 2008, Trading for a Cure continues. This is a one-day annual event that has raised more than $500,000 to date. If you plan on making any transactions on March 18, please consider using StockCross Global so you can help Trading for a Cure.    

BCKGRD:  Founder of Trading for a Cure, Gerry Mastrianni, was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease in 1999. Following the diagnosis, he received treatment at the Florida Hospital Cancer Institute and later received a bone marrow transplant. During treatment, Mastranni witnessed the pain others were enduring while receiving the same uncomfortable treatments he was receiving. From that moment on, he founded Trading for a Cure, and vowed to help those he saw suffering. All of the funds contributed help with the continuation of research, purchasing of additional medical equipment, and creation of a more comfortable stay for bone marrow transplant patients.
