In honor of National Teacher Appreciation Day, the Warriors Community Foundation and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) have announced a $250,000 contribution to the Oakland and San Francisco Unified School Districts to aid in COVID-19 relief efforts, which includes a $100,000 contribution from Warriors Head Coach Steve Kerr.
Warriors Community Foundation President Nicole Lacob orchestrated a Foundation match of Kerr’s contribution and with an additional donation from Hewlett Packard Enterprise—the official Warriors and Chase Center partner powering connected experiences for fans—the total of $250,000 will split equally between the two school districts. The funds will be used to purchase hundreds of laptops and internet hotspots for Bay Area youth, to continue physically-distant learning and aid in teacher-student connectivity amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
