Stephen and Ayesha Curry commit to Oakland with new foundation for kids

Stephen and Ayesha Curry are committed to Oakland.

On Thursday, the Bay Area’s first couple of sports will unveil their new family foundation, Eat, Learn, Play. The mission of the nonprofit organization, focused on children in Oakland, is to address three vital elements of a healthy, active childhood: nutrition, education and recreation.

“Over the past 18 months or two years, we’ve really thought about what we want our own foundation to look like, what we want to stand behind,” Stephen said. “About how we can best make an impact.”

The Currys are committed to making an annual seven-figure donation to the foundation that will cover all administrative expenses, so that other money raised will go entirely into the programs.

Eat, Learn, Play will partner with established organizations (including the Warriors) that are already working in the community. On Thursday, the foundation will launch, beginning with an event at Lake Merritt, with more than 800 children from Oakland Parks, Recreation & Youth Development Town Camps.

Nicholas Williams, the director of Oakland Parks and Recreation, said the foundation’s mission falls in line with what his department tries to provide to low-income children, 20 percent of whom live below the poverty line and 71 percent who qualify for free or reduced lunch.

“All of my greatest memories are in Oakland and the East Bay,” Stephen said. “There’s a power in that.

“That is what we want to connect with.”
