The Epstein Files Shocked the World. Now 40 Executive Women Are Responding Aboard the Queen Mary

LONG BEACH, Calif. - March 3, 2026 - PRLog -- The Queen Mary Cares Foundation, Hall Wealth Management Group, and Humansave have announced The Queen's Summit, an exclusive women's retreat taking place aboard the legendary Queen Mary on March 28, 2026, from 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM in Long Beach. Limited to 40 participants, this charitable retreat brings together women leaders, entrepreneurs, and business owners for an experience in which personal growth directly supports mental health services for survivors of sex trafficking. With federal funding cuts threatening survivor services nationwide, the event helps develop vital resources.

"Aboard the historic Queen Mary, the most accomplished women in business will gather not only to elevate their own success, but to fund a lifeline for survivors whose resources have never been more at risk," said Natasha McPherson, Vice President & Managing Director at Hall Wealth Management Group. "This is what it looks like when women at the highest levels lead with both ambition and conscience."

A Retreat Designed for Women of Significant Influence

The Queen's Summit rejects the traditional gala format in favor of substantive content that serves attendees while generating critical funding. The experience features keynote presentations from women who have navigated C-suite leadership, a wellness experience including a sound bath and yoga, and a networking lunch on the deck of the Queen Mary designed to forge genuine peer relationships among decision makers.

The Urgency Behind the Mission

Human trafficking generates an estimated $357 billion annually worldwide (NASDAQ 2024), with survivors facing profound barriers to safety and independence. Humansave's Transcending Trauma Treatment Program provides evidence-based, trauma-informed care that helps survivors reclaim hope while also equipping at-risk youth, families, and organizations with prevention tools.

"Together, we are raising a generation for whom the buying and selling of another human being is simply unthinkable," said Francesca Douglass-Franco, Founder of Humansave.

An Iconic Setting for a Historic Gathering

The Queen Mary, a legendary ocean liner that served as both a luxury passenger ship and WWII troopship, now stands as one of Southern California's most prestigious event venues. "The Queen Mary represents resilience, transformation, and enduring impact — exactly what we're creating with this retreat," said Steve Caloca, Managing Director of the Queen Mary.
