IRVINGTON, NY, PURCHASE, NY and YONKERS, NY — July 9, 2019 — Hundreds of volunteers from Morgan Stanley and KaBOOM! joined members of the community on June 28 to transform a dilapidated empty lot into a kid-designed, state-of-the-art playground. It’s the newest of over 20 playgrounds built by Morgan Stanley and KaBOOM! that serve over 9,500 children across the United States. The project at Abbott House, in Irvington, NY, capped Morgan Stanley’s 14th annual Global Volunteer Month in which thousands of employees worldwide participated in projects to help their communities.
