Steph and Ayesha Curry discuss their foundation Eat Learn Play in the November philanthropy Issue of Town & Country Magazine.
For the Currys, it’s all about helping the children in their community thrive. Created in 2019, their foundation Eat Learn Play has helped thousands of kids in Oakland by building playgrounds, giving away tens of thousands of books, and distributing fresh, healthy meals.
The couple, who first met in church as teenagers, set out to create a foundation that harnessed their passions.
We knew our heart lay within the community. When it came to what we wanted to advocate for, for him, that was always education and being active. For me it was always food and childhood hunger, Ayesha shared with the publication.
The organization’s name contains a reminder to stay grounded. “The fact that play is in the title of the foundation,” Steph says.
We don’t want to be pretentious or unapproachable. We want to meet people where they are. Those are the soundbites, but you have to live that, bear it out in everything you do. Bring joy, respect everybody’s dignity. We have to be very intentional in that.
Also featured in Town & Country’s philanthropy Issue are Quest Love, Jennifer Garner and a group of first time voters.
