CHICAGO, Aug. 30,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe:
CBOE), the world's leading derivatives and securities exchange
network, today announced a donation of $100,000 to Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans
Frontières (MSF), an international medical humanitarian
organization dedicated to delivering emergency medical aid to
people in crisis.
The charitable giving accomplishes Cboe's commitment to donating
an aggregate total of $500,000 to
five different non-profit organizations in honor of its
50th anniversary milestone. Cboe has donated
$100,000 to the following
organizations over the recent months: Alzheimer's Association, Save
the Children, Human Rights Watch and Global Central Kitchen. All
the organizations were nominated by Cboe's global associates base,
and each organization exemplifies one of Cboe's guiding principles,
with Doctors Without Borders reflecting "Good Citizenship" for the
medical work it does for people in dire situations.
"As we conclude Cboe's 50th anniversary charitable
giving, we are extremely honored to support the incredible work
these organizations do for so many people across the globe. Cboe's
commitment to being a good citizen to our communities, whether
through volunteer time, associate matching contributions or
charitable giving, will always be a fundamental part of our
success," said David Howson, Global
President of Cboe Global Markets. "Doctors Without Borders' ability
to quickly respond and bring medical care to the people who need it
most is vital to so many devasted communities enduring crises. For
its work amid armed conflicts and natural disasters, Doctors
Without Borders has a long history of going above and beyond."
Since its founding more than 50 years ago, Doctors Without
Borders has provided medical care to tens of millions of people and
has grown into a movement of more than 68,000 staff. Amid the
challenging contexts of conflict, disasters, epidemics, and
exclusion from health care, Doctors Without Borders aims to provide
high quality medical care to people affected. Examples of the
complex crises the organization has responded to include war in
Sudan and Ukraine, earthquakes in Syria and Turkey, and the global migration and refugee
crises.
"We kindly thank Cboe for their generous support of our urgent
medical care to people affected by war, displacement, and disease
in more than 70 countries around the world each year," said
John Rothmeier, Development Officer
at MSF USA. "It is thanks to our
donors that we can continue providing impartial and independent
medical care to those who need it most and increase the impact and
reach of our programs in the years to come."
