LONG BEACH, Calif., Feb. 27, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Halbert Hargrove, a fiduciary investment management and wealth advisory firm headquartered in Long Beach, CA, announced their sponsorship of the Stanford Center on Longevity 2018 Design Challenge, a global competition focused on encouraging students to motivate and empower others in both their homes and communities. Halbert Hargrove was the founding sponsor of the challenge in 2014 and the firm is continuing its support as a gold sponsor this year.

This year's Stanford Design Challenge is focused on promoting lifelong healthy habits– including financial, physical, and social behaviors— through designs and services to improve the quality of life. 74 teams of students representing 18 countries across the globe came together to conceptualize initiatives that will positively impact their communities at this year's challenge. Finalists will receive $1,000 to further develop their projects and travel to Stanford University, where they will present their ideas to renowned industry, academic, and government leaders. The teams will then compete for a grand prize of $10,000.
