A special moment for the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer: “Bell Ringing” ceremony for the Trading Charity

On 11 December 2024, the time had come: an unforgettable day on the trading floor of the Frankfurt Stock Exchange that fills us with gratitude and pride. As part of the Trading Charity, Marcus Klüssendorf had the honour of ringing the stock exchange bell on behalf of the Frankfurt Foundation for Children with Cancer.

We had the great privilege of sharing this special moment with Prof. Dr Elke Jäger from the ‘Living with Cancer’ foundation and Miriam Disselkamp from the ‘Back to Life’ football group.

An impressive result: 100,000 euros for a good cause

Thanks to the commitment of the Trading Charity, an incredible 100,000 euros were raised for the three organisations involved. This sum means more to us than just financial support – it is a sign of solidarity and trust in our work. We would like to say thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

A big thank you to our supporters

We would like to thank the specialists at the stock exchange who made this success possible:

• Baader Bank AG
• Bankhaus Scheich Securities Specialist AG
• ICF BANK AG
• mwb fairtrade AG
• ODDO BHF
• Steubing AG
• Tradegate AG
• Walter Ludwig GmbH Securities Trading Bank

Special thanks go to Deutsche Börse, in particular Dr Theodor Weimer, Michael Krogmann and Martina Dohnke, whose enthusiasm and support made a deep impression on us. Their commitment shows how strong the link between business and social commitment can be.

Looking to the future with confidence

The Trading Charity is not just a fundraising event, but an example of what is possible when people come together to do good. The encouragement we received on this day motivates us to continue our existential research work with even greater dedication – for the children with cancer and their families to whom we give hope with our research.

We say thank you – to everyone who made this day possible and gave us support and encouragement for our work!
