CHICAGO, July 21, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Cboe Global Markets, Inc. (Cboe: CBOE), the world's leading derivatives and securities exchange network, today announced a donation of $100,000 to World Central Kitchen, a nonprofit focused on being first to the frontlines and providing meals to people recovering from crises.

The donation to World Central Kitchen is the fourth installment of Cboe's $500,000 charitable giving campaign in honor of its 50th anniversary. Each organization was specifically chosen by Cboe's global associates and exemplifies one of Cboe's guiding principles. World Central Kitchen was selected to represent Superior Service for its work in providing meals and offering hope to those in a time of crisis.

"As an operator of global markets, Cboe is also passionately committed to supporting the worldwide community and helping those in need," said Chris Isaacson, Chief Operating Officer of Cboe Global Markets. "World Central Kitchen is instrumental in providing food security and hunger relief to those devastated by humanitarian, climate, and community crises all over the world. Our associates' choice to support World Central Kitchen is a testament to the incredible work they do, and we couldn't be more grateful to contribute to such a vital mission to help the world, one meal at a time."

Founded by Chef José Andrés, World Central Kitchen acts fast when disaster strikes in order to start cooking and serving meals to people in need. The organization partners with a local network on the ground and looks to serve comforting meals to survivors quickly and effectively. World Central Kitchen's recent emergency responses include the invasion of Ukraine, the devastating earthquakes in Turkey and Syria, and the recent catastrophic flooding in Vermont.
