Stephen Curry and Ayesha Curry's foundation share an update about their noble moment with Warren Buffett
A few hours ago, Stephen Curry and Ayesha Curry's co-owned foundation, Eat. Learn. Play., announced that it will be opening the bid for "A Seat at the Table" on 7th May.
"A Seat at the Table" replaces Warren Buffett's "Power Lunch" where the highest bidder will get an opportunity to sit for an exclusive and private lunch with Stephen Curry, Ayesha Curry, and the billionaire investor.
The post made by Eat. Learn. Play. reads as, "A Seat at the Table is more than an auction. It's a chance to grow the work Eat. Learn. Play. has put into supporting Oakland kids through access to nutritious food, literacy programs, and safe places to play and be active."
The post added, "Warren Buffett has long hosted this legendary auction benefiting @glidesf and their work to break cycles of poverty in San Francisco. This year, he invited @eatlearnplay to join as a co-beneficiary and he's personally matching the winning bid for both organizations."
The post continued, "Bidding opens May 7 on @ebay for an exclusive lunch with Warren Buffett, Stephen and Ayesha Curry."
Over the last few years, both Stephen Curry and Ayesha Curry have shown up for Eat. Learn. Play. and have always remained committed to helping the children of Oakland to have access to nutritious food, quality education and a safe environment.
A few weeks ago, the sneakers which Stephen Curry wore after he ended his partnership with Under Armor, were all put up for auction. The proceeds from the sale are exclusively being used for their foundation Eat. Learn. Play. to provide a shelter and safe environment to more and more children in and around Oakland.
Despite the busy life that Stephen Curry has, the NBA legend has always made time for Oakland as he remains committed to giving back to the society along with his family.
