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.

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.
