NBA superstar Stephen Curry and his wife, Ayesha, are known for their incredible skills on the court, but it's their off-court efforts that are truly making a difference. Through their charity foundation, Eat.Learn.Play, the couple has been able to provide more than $2 million in resources and support for students and families in need during their 12th annual Christmas with the Currys celebration.
In a recent press release, Stephen and Ayesha expressed their gratitude for the dedicated volunteers and supporters who have helped make this event a success year after year. With their help, more than 18,000 elementary school students in the Oakland Unified School District were able to experience the magic of the holiday season. But their efforts don't stop there. The foundation is also working hard to revitalize libraries in the district, giving kids a place to read, learn, and dream.
Through various events and functions, Eat.Learn.Play has been able to provide support for Oakland Unified School District students and families, including holiday events and pop-up book fairs. Thanks to the generosity of their partners, students were able to receive gifts and goodies, such as a $200,000 donation from the Safeway Foundation to provide gift cards for families in need this holiday season. And for the fourth consecutive year, all 18,000 elementary school students in Oakland received a special holiday gift from the foundation.
The festivities kicked off at Madison Park Academy on December 4th, where over 200 elementary school students were in for a treat. The Currys surprised them with an on-site book fair, a schoolyard design session led by artists from Pixar, a holiday-themed petting zoo, and fun field day games. It was a day filled with joy, laughter, and magical memories.
But the giving doesn't stop there. Eat.Learn.Play has recently announced a new initiative to renovate elementary school libraries throughout the Oakland Unified School District. These libraries will be refreshed with new books, furniture, and grants to provide additional support for students. The foundation is committed to making these spaces exciting and inviting for students to foster a love for reading and learning.
In addition to their efforts in the education sector, Eat.Learn.Play has also committed $25 million to advance the literacy movement in Oakland. This includes one-on-one professional tutoring and other literacy initiatives to ensure that all students have the resources and support they need to succeed.
While Stephen Curry's achievements on the basketball court are impressive, it's his and Ayesha's dedication to giving back to their community that truly makes them stand out as role models. They continue to make a positive impact on the lives of students and families in Oakland, and their efforts are truly making a difference.
