From cycling for autism research to supporting educational opportunities and early-career development, Tower Research Capital continued its involvement in community initiatives across New York in October.
Supporting Autism Research at Wall Street Rides FAR
Tower employees hit the road for Wall Street Rides FAR, an annual cycling and walking event that we proudly sponsored. All funds raised benefited the Autism Science Foundation.
Held in White Plains, NY, the event brought together members of the capital markets and broader financial services communities. Participants took on scenic cycling routes of varying distances or explored wooded trails during the 5K walk, all while supporting an important cause.
Beyond the friendly competition, the event helped raise awareness and funds for scientific research aimed at improving our understanding of autism and supporting autism families.
Expanding STEM Opportunities with BEAM
Tower joined supporters of Bridge to Enter Advanced Mathematics (BEAM) for a Trivia Night fundraiser co-hosted by BEAM and Jane Street.
BEAM works to expand opportunities for students from low-income and historically marginalized communities to pursue advanced studies and careers in mathematics, engineering, and computer science.
Supporters took part in a math-themed trivia competition that offered a chance to learn more about BEAM’s programs while supporting its work to make advanced STEM education more accessible.
Supporting Career Development with Futures and Options
At Futures and Options’ annual Dream Big gala, Tower joined members of the community in celebrating the organization’s work to expand career opportunities for young people.
The event raised $1.5 million to support career readiness programming, mentorship, and paid internships.
Futures and Options helps students develop the skills, experience, and professional connections needed to pursue meaningful careers through career exploration, professional development, and hands-on work experience.
Across these events, Tower was proud to support organizations that strengthen the communities around us.
