The Charity of the Year partnership between Morgan Stanley and the British Heart Foundation (BHF) has raised £300,000 to help the charity in its fight against heart disease.
During this one year partnership, Morgan Stanley managed to successfully raise over £300,000 for the BHF through a variety of employee fundraising initiatives. Activity included the JP Morgan Chase 5km Run, the Enduro-Challenge Triathlon, company quiz nights, Christmas fairs, a Get Fit event, and support of the BHF’s London to Brighton Bike Ride, Valentine Appeal and Help a Heart campaign.
Over 3,000 of Morgan Stanley’s UK employees got involved in the fundraising partnership and raise money to help the Charity fund two BHF Heart Failure Nurses, based at Tower Hamlets for three years. The funding will contribute towards the nurses’ ongoing training and development.
Morgan Stanley, through its international Foundation, made a pledge to match every pound raised by its staff throughout the partnership, which was being managed by a UK Employee Charity Committee, comprised of 40 Morgan Stanley representatives.
