This year’s event features a “Heart-to-Heart” conversation with legendary actress and advocate for women’s empowerment – Christine Baranski. She will be interviewed by Caroline N.

Hosted by Morgan Stanley Wealth Management’s Sandra L. Richards, Managing Director, Head of Global Sports & Entertainment and Segment Sales & Engagement and Terri Ferri, Managing Director, Market Executive – Soundview Market, the event will include a heart-healthy breakfast with special remarks from Vince Lumia, and Dr. Cara Pensabene, Board Member at American Heart Association – Eastern States Region.

"We know that a majority of cardiovascular diseases are preventable. The key is empowering women through education and awareness to make choices that can keep them healthy longer,” says Kristen Alouisa, Executive Director, Westchester & Fairfield Counties at the American Heart Association. “Morgan Stanley’s unwavering commitment in the fight for women’s lives is admirable and we’re thankful to be a part of this event for the 16th year now.”
