Hape’s “Love, Play, Learn” mantra met the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation at Christmas with the Currys, an annual event hosted by Stephen and Ayesha Curry to bring the holidays to families in Oakland, California

“The holidays are meant to bring us all together to share in the joy and warmth of each other’s presence,” say Stephen and Ayesha Curry, Co-Founders of Eat. Learn. Play. “We love our community and realize this time of year comes with anxiety and pressure for parents who are already doing everything they can to make ends meet. Christmas with the Currys is our way of lifting this burden for families in need throughout Oakland and ensuring they are part of a community that makes their season brighter.”

Hape donated 360 toys to 500 Oakland families (2,000 people) who participated in Christmas with the Currys. 

“It’s an exceptional day when we’re able to provide the most deserving families with an opportunity to cherry-pick their favorite surprise wrapped Hape gift,” says Fred Jordan, Senior Marketing Manager at Hape. “We are honored to be part of such an impactful event and support the Eat. Learn. Play. Foundation.”
