East-West Shrine Bowl Announces Morgan Stanley Global Sports & Entertainment as Inaugural Financial Education Partner

The East-West Shrine Bowl, the nation’s longest running college all-star football game, has announced Morgan Stanley Global Sports & Entertainment as its inaugural Premier Financial Education Partner for 2025.

The 100th East-West Shrine Bowl will be held on January 30, 2025, at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, TX, the home of the Dallas Cowboys. This elite all-star game convenes the best Junior and Senior college football players and 2025 NFL Draft hopefuls in the nation to showcase their talent and skills in front of numerous scouts, coaches, and executives from all 32 NFL teams. Legends like Tom Brady, Walter Payton, and John Elway, as well as today’s standouts like Brock Purdy, Zay Flowers, and Isiah Pacheco are some of those who have played in the historic game.

As the Shrine Bowl’s Premier Financial Education Partner, select members of Morgan Stanley Global Sports & Entertainment will host two curated 90-minute financial education sessions on Friday, January 24, 2025, tailored for the exclusive group of professional football prospects partaking in the week’s program and activities. The first session will be from 8:00am to 9:30am CST, followed by a second session from 10:00am to 11:30am CST. 

“For decades, the East-West Shrine Bowl has been widely considered not only an elite prospect all-star game, but a crucial step for players embarking on professional careers for some of football’s biggest stars,” said Sandra L. Richards, Head of Global Sports & Entertainment and Segment Sales & Engagement at Morgan Stanley. “We are excited to announce our sponsorship of this historic game in a milestone year marking its centennial. We look forward to delivering our financial education program, tools, and resources along with sharing lived experiences with this year’s all-stars during a pivotal time in their early and promising careers.”
