Healthy Cities initiative connects wellness, nutrition and play
resources to give children a healthy start to life
Morgan Stanley (NYSE:MS) today announced that over 200 Morgan
Stanley and community volunteers will build a playground at Union
Baptist-Harvey Johnson Head Start as part of the Morgan Stanley’s
Healthy Cities initiative. Joining forces with Union Baptist-Harvey
Johnson Head Start and KaBOOM!, volunteers will give more than 400
area children the play space needed for a childhood with balanced
and active play, so they can thrive. Having access to safe place
spaces is at the heart of the Healthy Cities Baltimore program,
which is designed to fuel innovation by coordinating the wellness,
nutrition and play resources that can strengthen a child’s healthy
start to life. The design for the playground is based on kids’
drawings created at a special design event in July.
“We are excited to have the opportunity to continue the Healthy
Cities Baltimore program and further its impact in the community,”
said Joan Steinberg, Global Head of Philanthropy, Morgan Stanley.
“Thanks to the collaboration with our amazing nonprofit partners
and employee volunteers, we are able to bring the children of
Baltimore one step closer to the play-filled childhood they
deserve.”
Through Healthy Cities, Morgan Stanley is collaborating with
national and Baltimore area non-profit organizations, including
Living Classrooms, to create a linked package of wellness education
and screenings, nutritious foods and safe play spaces for children
in underserved Baltimore neighborhoods. The Morgan Stanley Healthy
Cities initiative in Baltimore launched in October 2016.
Morgan Stanley Healthy Cities was launched in 2014 and has since
delivered programming in Chicago, IL; Newark, NJ; Oakland, CA;
London, UK; Cleveland, OH; Houston, TX, Mumbai, India, New Orleans,
LA and Baltimore, MD. For more information about Healthy Cities,
