Steph Curry told CBS News that these children, especially those from Black and Brown neighborhoods, deserve the chance to realize their full potential.

“Eat. Learn. Play.” was launched in 2019 and has already made a huge impact on Oakland. 

The nonprofit organization of Steph Curry and Ayesha Curry has donated 25 million meals, renovated 12 playgrounds, and contributed $6 million to literacy initiatives.

Steph Curry and Ayesha Curry’s charitable endeavors directly include children by soliciting their opinions on playground layouts and planning activities like fun runs and outings to the stadium. 

Steph Curry and Ayesha Curry understand the value of playgrounds and how much of an impact they can have on a child’s life. 

Every penny received for the charity goes back into the community because Steph Curry and Ayesha Curry pay all of the operating expenses. 

Over $2 million was raised at a recent golf tournament fundraiser hosted by the software company Workday, greatly advancing their cause.

After Steph Curry’s playing career is over, Steph Curry and Ayesha Curry want their charity to continue as “a lifelong project.”
