✨7 Years of Investing in Oakland Students! ✨ When Stephen and Ayesha started the foundation in 2019, Stephen’s focus was clear: every kid deserves a safe place to play. Confidence, leadership, belonging — it all starts with play, which is why it’s one of our three key pillars. Seven years in, we’ve transformed 24 Oakland schoolyards alongside OUSDnews and KABOOM, turning underused asphalt into sport courts, play structures, teaching gardens, murals, and shaded green space, all designed by the students who use them every day. Middle school sports participation is up 300% since we started investing in coaches, referees, transportation, and gear with Oakland Athletic League. Because every Oakland kid deserves excellent places and equitable opportunities to play. 💬 Which Oakland schoolyards and courts have you played on, cheered at, or helped build? Drop the name below! Follow along over the next month as we look back on our first seven years. #EatLearnPlay #7YearsInOakland
