Morgan Stanley Global Sports & Entertainment Celebrates a Decade as the Exclusive Financial Education Sponsor of the Reese’s Senior Bowl
Financial Advisors from the Firm will travel to Mobile, AL to provide financial education programming for 2024 NFL Draft hopefuls ahead of the nation’s top college football All-Star Game
MOBILE, AL — Morgan Stanley Global Sports & Entertainment (GSE), a division of Morgan Stanley Wealth Management dedicated to serving the unique and sophisticated needs of elite and professional athletes, entertainers, executives, creators, and other top talent and professionals in the sports and entertainment industry, proudly maintains its position as the exclusive financial education sponsor of the Reese's Senior Bowl for the tenth consecutive year, which coincides with the Senior Bowl’s 75th anniversary celebration.
Sandra L. Richards, Head of Morgan Stanley Global Sports & Entertainment and Segment Sales & Engagement at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management, expressed her enthusiasm, stating, “our continued support has been mutually impactful, and we are proud to provide financial education and strategies to help advance the financial gameplans of this year’s college football All-Stars and NFL Draft hopefuls along with their families, as we have done now for a decade. We look forward to helping them prepare for their next chapters amid navigating their transitions from college to the professional ranks and beyond.”
The Senior Bowl, renowned as the premier college football All-Star game in the United States, is the yearly post-season event that showcases the best NFL Draft prospects around the country who have completed their college eligibility. This year is the 75th celebration of the Senior Bowl in Mobile, AL, and the theme of the celebration is “The Legends Return.” This special moment also includes a 75th Anniversary Team, which features some of the greatest players in NFL history, including Terrell Owens, Dan Marino, LeRoy Butler, Richard Sherman, and others. These legends will return to the Gateway to the Gulf where their NFL journeys began and will be recognized during game-week celebrations.
“One of our objectives at the Reese’s Senior Bowl is for our players to learn lessons both on and off the field during their stay in Mobile,” said Jim Nagy, Executive Director of the Reese’s Senior Bowl. “Morgan Stanley Global Sports & Entertainment’s financial education seminar gives players knowledge moving forward that will benefit them throughout their professional careers and beyond. The benefit of hearing from experienced financial advisors along with a Senior Bowl Hall-of-Famer like a Brian Westbrook last year - or others of his ilk - who have successfully navigated similar NFL journeys that these young men will soon embark on, is that the lessons are all relatable and applicable.”
As in years prior, Morgan Stanley GSE will host a financial education session for all the players invited to participate in this year’s Senior Bowl, as well as accompanying family-members, coaches, and staff. The 2024 program will stress financial fundamentals, the importance of creating a personally tailored financial plan and strategies on how best to build a team of advisors to aid in the next stage of life on and off the field, throughout one’s personal and professional journey.
Morgan Stanley Global Sports & Entertainment consists of over 250 Financial Advisors with the Global Sports & Entertainment Director/Associate Director designation, several of whom are former professional and collegiate athletes who once embarked on a similar journey to that of today’s elite prospects and NFL Draft hopefuls selected to compete in this year’s Reese’s Senior Bowl.
