NEW YORK, NY, April 5, 2004 - Children's Miracle
Day is a one-day event during which CIBC World
Markets sales and trading staff and financial
consultants, donate their fees and commissions
to children's charities. This year, Companions
in Courage Foundation was the recipient of
$11,000 generated by the program.
The foundation will utilize the funds to
continue its work in building interactive game
rooms at children's hospitals throughout North

CiC Foundation was nominated for the award by
Scott Lohan of CIBC World Markets in New York
City. Since 1984, Miracle Day, the first
Wednesday of each December, CIBC employees have

world over. "Miracle Day is about our employees
making an ongoing commitment to children," said
Susan Storey, chair of the CIBC World Markets
Children's Miracle Foundation. "Miracle Day
provides one element of support for charities
requiring funding. But our employees and clients
extend that contribution to ensure the health,
well-being and education of all children by
committing their time and energy to
organizations 365 days a year, all around the
world."
All offices of CIBC World Markets in the United
States, Canada, Europe and Asia, as well as CIBC
Wood Gundy offices in Canada were a part of
