The Oakland Marathon brought 11,000+ runners through Oakland and across the Bay Bridge for a day of energy and community. We were proud to be the charity beneficiary for the 3rd year. Through the generosity of runners and partners, over $150,000 was raised for kids in Oakland!

A December worth remembering! 3 weeks, 47 schools, and 17,000 Oakland elementary students choosing books they couldn’t wait to read. To every volunteer and school staff member who made it happen: thank you! We couldn’t have done this without your time and teamwork.

Flashback to last school year, when OUSD middle school athletes hit the court and field—building skills, competing with heart, and finding joy through spring sports like lacrosse, futsal and volleyball.

At Christmas with the Currys in 2023, Stephen & Ayesha surprised Manzanita students with the news that we would be transforming their schoolyard. In 2024 we revitalized the TK yard. This past week we completed one for older kids. Now every student has a place to play and grow!

SIX YEARS, SIX MOMENTS! When the pandemic shut schools, it also cut off a lifeline: school meals. Eat. Learn. Play. pivoted fast, stepping into the hunger relief space. What started as a response to crisis became the foundation for our ongoing work in fighting food insecurity.
