Aegon and our US business Transamerica are delighted to have the opportunity to spotlight the incredible contribution of the charity Hope & Heroes to young people and health during the NYSE's 101st Annual Tree Lighting Event.
As part of its annual global giving campaign, the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) invites companies listed on the exchange to raise awareness for an important charitable organization they support. Each company and charitable organization is honored with a commemorative custom ornament that hangs on the holiday trees in front of the NYSE entrance from December 5 until the end of the year.
Aegon has a dual listing in Amsterdam and on the NYSE, under the ticker designation AEG. The Aegon Transamerica Foundation, a non-profit charitable organization, is committed to making an enduring positive impact where it matters most — in the lives of those seeking to build brighter futures. We are proud, therefore, to support Hope & Heroes and its commitment to delivering the very best care to children with cancer and blood disorders in the New York tri-state region.
