Two billion people heard about our mission of unconditional love after the close of A Seat at the Table auction with Warren Buffett and Stephen & Ayesha Curry.
We chose our four favorites (of the 873 stories) for you to check out here: the Associated Press, Reuters, the New York Post, and People. Beyond the buzz about the Auction, we raised an astonishing $27 million to support GLIDE and the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation; an historic investment in a brighter future for communities on both sides of the Bay!
If you missed seeing the action live, be sure to check out the photo album from our Auction Watch Party, and the livestreamed video recording. Scroll to 40 minutes and 48 seconds on the full video or watch the highlight reel if you want to catch Stephen Curry’s cameo with Warren Buffett!
GLIDE and our partners at Eat. Learn. Play. are vital lifelines for children and families in San Francisco and Oakland. $27 million is a major milestone—but not the finish line. As cuts from the “Big Ugly Bill” take effect, this remarkable sum still can’t fully replace what families are losing in food, healthcare, and housing.
That’s why it’s so important we use this money that Warren Buffett, Stephen Curry, and Ayesha Curry helped us raise to make a real impact. Our team is mapping the most strategic way to deploy these funds and get them working in the community quickly and effectively. We’ll keep you updated as plans unfold.
Your support makes GLIDE possible. In a time when so many institutions feel like they are crumbling, GLIDE is on the rise. Please keep on supporting us.
In solidarity,
Your friends at GLIDE
