Giving back is so important to me because of the positive impact we can have on others. Using our unique platforms as athletes, we have an ability to easily connect with people while providing hope and inspiration through not just our play on the field but our actions in the community.
Committed to Hope
Giving back is important to me because it inspires others to keep going, keep dreaming and keep believing.
Committed to Hope
Giving back is important to me because I’m Christian and Jesus teaches on giving to others and lending a hand to your brothers and sisters. It’s also important for me to give because those who came before me gave back to me. I feel like it’s my duty to serve others just like Christ did.
Committed to Hope
Giving back is important to me because of how much I’ve benefited from people willing to help me. It’s important to pass it on and be a resource.
Committed to Hope
Giving back is important to me, because I believe that the most meaningful way that our lives have purpose are to support and uplift others. We are all part of something bigger and generosity of spirit builds essential qualities of connection and love.
Committed to Hope
Some of my most cherished memories come from volunteering and serving others. It creates a deep sense of connection with others and genuine joy that is unlike anything else. Giving back helps me focus on the needs of others, instead of myself and helps me realize I have a lot to be grateful for.
Committed to Hope
Giving back is important to me because I want to use my platform as a student-athlete to inspire and uplift others. I’m most passionate about supporting young athletes, helping families in need, and empowering women and girls in my community.
Committed to Hope
Giving back is important to me because I wouldn’t be here without the people who were willing to invest in my future. I really do believe that it takes a village, and having a strong support system makes a huge difference. Since I was so fortunate to receive guidance and kindness, I am committed to paying it forward.
Committed to Hope
Living a life of service is about giving back to the community and trying to make the world a better place. I want to continue spending my lifting others up so that they may reach their dreams.
Committed to Hope
Giving back is important to me because I know how powerful it is to see someone who looks like you in a space where you don’t always see yourself represented. In soccer and any sport, representation matters and a genuine sense of belonging is super important. I want to be an example for the next generation and help create more opportunities for them to shine and uplift others in the future.

What if the greatest assist never happened on the court? For 20 years, Athletes for Hope has stood behind athletes who choose to use their platform for something bigger than the game — and Stephen Curry is one of them. This video traces Stephen’s journey to becoming the philanthropist he is today — from a kid who looked up to giants like Muhammad Ali and Alonzo Mourning, to watching his own father, Dell Curry, lead with generosity and grace both on and off the court. Those early lessons never left him. Through Eat. Learn. Play., the foundation he and Ayesha Curry launched in 2019, Stephen has helped provide 25 million meals, remodel over 23 schoolyards, and commit $25M to close the literacy gap for 10,000 Oakland students. This is what it looks like when athletes show up for their communities. Twenty years in, the movement is only growing.
