Foundation's bus was parked near the playground at Oakland's Elmhurst United Middle School and to the students' surprise, 4-time NBA champion and Bay Area humanitarianAs the kids posed for a picture, Curry opened a door to the bus, greeting them and joining their group photo.
Curry's day in Oakland focused on the foundation's "Play" pillar, as kids were able to participate in the soccer workout with one of the NBA's best players. Curry was active as a young child playing many sports including basketball, football and baseball -- highlighting the importance of activity for children.
"I'm never too removed from those moments and just the fact that whether it's 30 seconds or 30 minutes that you spent with a kid it can change something in their lives. Whether they feel seen, whether they've been down and needed a little excitement in their lives or the inspiration of maybe they found something they see in me and just be able to lock eyes with them or shake their hand or give them a high five or whatever the case is, it could lift them up," said Curry.
