Stephen Curry's 'Eat. Learn. Play.' Foundation Raises $5.6 Million at Annual Charity Golf Event

The 7th Annual Workday Charity Classic, held at Palo Alto Hills Golf and Country Club, successfully raised over $5.6 million for Stephen and Ayesha Curry's 'Eat. Learn. Play.' Foundation. This annual golf event serves as the foundation's primary fundraiser, with proceeds dedicated to supporting students and families in Oakland. The significant sum was partly due to a matching gift from Aneel Bhursi, co-founder, CEO, and Chair of Workday. Since its inception in 2019, the foundation has invested more than $100 million into Oakland's students and families, focusing on providing resources in food, education, and activity. The foundation has transformed 25 Oakland schoolyards and 6 gyms, aiming to ensure children feel seen, loved, and have access to resources to achieve their full potential.

The Gospel Coalition's International Outreach Addresses Theological Famine in Global South

The Gospel Coalition's (TGC) International Outreach, which joined TGC in 2012, is actively engaged in a mission of 'Theological Famine Relief' for the Global Church. Since 2006, this initiative has focused on partnering with translators, publishers, and missions networks to provide new access to biblical resources in both digital and physical formats. The primary goal is to strengthen thousands of congregations by equipping pastors and elders, particularly in the Global South, where 75% of the world's Christians now reside.
