The first day of the Currys’ 12 Days of Christmas was a powerful surprise with some of Oakland’s most unsung heroes: teachers. Eat. Learn. Play., in collaboration with DonorsChoose, invited four deserving Oakland teachers to meet with Oakland Mayor Libby Schaff to discuss project funding needs. Stephen Curry surprised them by informing them that Eat. Learn. Play. will be funding the instructors’ classroom literacy efforts. Additionally, as part of their objective to close the literacy gap for Oakland students, Eat. Learn. Play. announced that, through a partnership with Donors Choose, they will sponsor EVERY teacher-led literacy project in the Oakland Unified School District up to $1 million.
Last year, the Currys hosted a good, gift and resource drive-thru center that benefitted over 1,000 Oakland children and families. Eat. Learn.
