The Story in Brief
Stephen Curry and his wife Ayesha have announced that their foundation, Eat. Learn. Play., has crossed the $100 million investment mark in seven years. The foundation, set up to support children and underprivileged families in Oakland, has distributed 35 million meals, tutored 7,500 students, and transformed 24 schoolyards. Curry told the Hollywood Reporter the foundation has reduced the literacy gap in underserved communities and aims to boost graduation rates in the Oakland Unified School District. The couple said the milestone is not a finish line but a beginning.

Sports stars are often accused of hollow charity gestures to polish their brand. The Currys' foundation, however, has delivered 35 million meals and transformed 24 schoolyards in Oakland over seven years. That is hard to call a stunt. The real test will be whether they sustain this momentum and actually lift graduation rates in the Oakland Unified School District. Numbers on paper are one thing, but changed lives are another.
