12 Days of Christmas with the Currys

This year’s one-of-a-kind 12 Days of Christmas with the Currys saw heart-warming and emotional surprise and delight moments throughout the community, which consisted of pop-up events, giftings, funding programs and more. “I am so very humbled by and grateful for every single person and organization who lent a hand in making this year’s Christmas with the Currys a tremendous success,” said Ayesha Curry, Co-Founder of Eat. Learn. Play. “When we started to think about and plan for this year’s holiday celebration, we had no idea just how big the annual tradition would become! With 12 consecutive days of surprise and delight moments, the impact of this year’s Christmas with the Currys has gone beyond our wildest dreams and expectations. This holiday season, we were able to show up for our amazing community and demonstrate what could happen when everyone is able to come together and make an impact.”

For 12 straight days, Eat. Learn. Play. was proud to celebrate the season of giving with joy and hope for children and families in Oakland. Once again, this year's festivities reflected Oakland's vibrant diversity, inclusion and cultural pride. The foundation’s daily surprises for children, families and organizations ranged from fulfilling classroom wish lists of Oakland teachers, to celebrating the dedication and impact of local community heroes. With the help of Santa and Mrs. Claus, who joined in on the fun again this year, the holiday spirit of the Currys’ full stop approach was unmatched. The annual tradition was truly a full-fledged campaign that incorporated and celebrated the individuals, leaders and community organizations throughout Northern California.
