On October 9, Market Street Trust Company launched its inaugural Game On event in Greenwich, CT bringing together a community of women dedicated to learning, growing, and championing women in sports, together.
The event featured a powerful conversation with Mellody Hobson, Co-CEO and President of Ariel Investments and a longtime advocate for financial literacy, equity, and representation. Hobson shared insights on leadership, resilience, and the transformative power of investing in women, on the field, in business, and across communities.
“Rooted in a legacy of female leadership, Market Street has always pursued excellence through community and connection. With Game On, we’re extending that spirit to the arena of women’s sports—celebrating this moment and the women who will shape what comes next. Mellody embodied that vision beautifully as we began this journey.” – Kara Pass, President & CEO, Market Street Trust Company.
The event marked the debut of Game On, a new initiative from Market Street Trust Company that brings women together through shared experiences and meaningful dialogue. Game On aims to create spaces where connection, insight, and inspiration flourish.
Market Street extends heartfelt thanks to Mellody Hobson for elevating our inaugural event with her openness and wisdom, our host Lauren Walsh, Stephanie Dunn Ashley, and to the incredible Greenwich community of women who made the inaugural Game On gathering such a success. Their energy and engagement set the tone for what promises to be a dynamic and empowering collective.
“For many years, I’ve been privileged to support causes I believe in — through the American Red Cross, Greenwich Emergency Medical Services, the YWCA, and other community efforts. When Kara approached me about Game On, I didn’t hesitate. I’ve long been passionate about empowering women and girls, and it was a true honor to bring together the women of Market Street and the Greenwich community for an event that celebrates strength, connection, and collective possibility.”- Lauren Walsh
