Phoenix Partners Group Donates $150,000 To The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society
Phoenix Partners Group, a leading interdealer broker with offices in New York, London, and Paris, announced today that it has donated $150,000 to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS), the world’s largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education, and patient services.
The charitable gift for pediatric cancer research was funded through proceeds from the firm’s annual Joshua Bruce Sawyer memorial charity day, an event through which Phoenix Partners Group and its employees honor Mr. Sawyer, a former colleague, by donating all revenues and commissions earned that day to charitable causes. Mr. Sawyer died in January 2007 after losing his battle with angiosarcoma, a very rare and aggressive form of cancer that affects blood vessels.
“The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society is an extraordinary organization, funding critical research into blood cancers and providing much-needed information and support to patients and their families as they deal with the challenges of living with theses types of cancers,” said Wesley Wang, one of the co-founders of Phoenix Partners Group. “It is our honor to help them continue their important work in Josh’s memory.”
