Morgan Stanley and Jericho Project joined forces to celebrate veterans and raise awareness of veterans homelessness.
Through their “Lights on Broadway” campaign, Morgan Stanley featured veterans, who reside in Jericho’s residences, on multiple digital jumbotrons/billboards at their corporate headquarters at 1585 Broadway in front of millions during the month of November.
