Learn. Play. Foundation' to help a school in East Bay build their library. Curry surprised the kids at Garfield Elementary School in Oakland with the announcement made via video conference. According to KRON4, Garfield Elementary has been without a library for ten years. When the four-time NBA champion learned about their dilemma, he used his foundation with help from Rakuten to rebuild it. "Rakuten is giving everything that you need to re-open that library after these long 10 years," Curry said. "We're talking brand new books, comfortable furnitures, arts and crafts corners. So many activities and so much amazing space in that library for you all to foster a love for reading. To read amazing stories from all backgrounds, especially underappreciated communities and authors." He continued: "I only ask one thing from you — that you go in there, and use it. I want you to go in there and continue to enjoy the love of reading with each and every single one of your friends in school. And go Warriors!"
