A welcome return to International Derivatives Week will be the popular black-tie Gala Dinner—the proceeds from which will go to supporting Futures for Kids.

Futures for Kids has been set up by a group of individuals from the futures and options industry. Its aim is to provide a fundraising vehicle through which this industry, collectively, can raise money to benefit charities working with children.

In this, its first year, Futures for Kids has selected three charities to represent diverse needs and geographical reach.

• Demelza—providing hospice care to children with life-limiting illnesses and their families across Kent, East Sussex, and South London. www.demelza.org.uk
• EveryChild—committed to protecting the rights of the world’s most vulnerable and excluded children across the world. www.everychild.org.uk
• HopeHIV—offering life, hope, and opportunity to Africa’s orphan generation. www.hopehiv.org Other sponsorship opportunities are still available.
