Jacqueline Franchetti, founder of Manhasset’s Kyra’s Champions, an advocacy organization focused on protecting children from abusive parents, is surrounded by Wall Street firms and supporters at the Chicago Board Options Exchange (Cboe) as she rang the opening bell for Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Kyra’s Champions work is in memory of Kyra Franchetti, a Manhasset toddler who was murdered by her abusive father.

Immediately after the bell ringing, Cboe hosted a fireside chat with Jacqueline where she discussed the bills she has passed in multiple states and on the federal level, Kyra’s Law, their policy initiatives, their Student Ambassador Program, and the work being done at Kyra’s Champions to protect children from abusive parents on Cboe’s worldwide stage.
