Alger Honors Veterans with a $51,000 Contribution to Veteran Serving Charitable Organizations
New York, NY (PRWEB) November 11, 2015 -- Fred Alger Management, Inc. (“Alger”), a leading asset management firm, today announced the contribution of $51,000 to five veteran charitable organizations in honor of Veterans Day, representing $1,000 for every year since the firm’s founding in 1964.
