ANGELES, May 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- B. Riley
Securities, a leading middle market brokerage and investment
bank, together with B. Riley Financial (Nasdaq: RILY)
(collectively, "B. Riley"), is pleased to announce that its annual
Commissions for Charity Day will
take place on Thursday, May 16, 2024.
All trading commissions on May 16
will be donated to B. Riley's long-standing philanthropic partner –
the Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation (the "Foundation").
The Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation has been the firm's primary
philanthropic beneficiary for over 13 years. B. Riley, together
with its clients, and in conjunction with its annual "Commissions
for Charity Day" and "Big Fighters,
Big Cause" events, has raised approximately $5 million to support the Foundation's mission to
fund groundbreaking research and care for pediatric Type 1 & 2
diabetes and helping children lead healthier lifestyles through
diet and exercise.
Boxing legend and six-time world champion, Sugar Ray Leonard, said, "This event,
together with proceeds from Big Fighters, Big Cause, has enabled us
to make meaningful progress in our Foundation's fight to knockout
pediatric diabetes. B. Riley is a valued friend and partner whose
continued generosity over the last thirteen years has been
fundamental to the life-changing research and education programs
that our Foundation supports."
Andy Moore, CEO of B. Riley
Securities, commented: "B. Riley's annual Commissions for
Charity Day reflects our support for
the Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation's mission to find a cure for
childhood Type 1 & 2 diabetes. We encourage clients, investors,
and friends to help champion an important cause by transacting with
our equity desk next Thursday the 16th, where 100% of the day's
commissions will benefit the Foundation."
B. Riley and The Sugar Ray Leonard Foundation will once again
co-present the 13th Annual "Big Fighters, Big Cause"
charity boxing event on Wednesday May
22 during B. Riley's 24th Annual Institutional Investor
