We are two cities, but we are sharing one incredible environmental asset, that is our beautiful bay. We really want to emphasize this year that every neighborhood has storm drains that flow into our bay so taking care of our bay is not just about cleaning up at did beach or on the coastline. We want people in our neighborhoods. We need our neighborhoods to be clean, healthy, shiny, beautiful. That is what this is about in oakland. Let me be clear with you all, we have over 2000 volunteers already signed up. [applause. ] i am happy to report oakland is in the lead as of now. However, people,na lead is narrow. Let us San Francisco has twice the population, but oakland has twice the pride. [cheers. ] there is no pride like an oakland pride, whether you are from the city or the town. I think we have to show the town shows up for its community, right . That is how we do it in oakland. I am excited after we hear from our mayor we will hear from a community leader. I want be to thank the people who dont just do picking up on earth day, they do it every day. We hope that coming out of our battle 4 bay you say i love this picking up trash. I want to do this all of the time because it makes me feel good to make my beautiful neighborhood clean, healthy, and i connect with my neighbors this way. That is what is beautiful. Now, mayor breed, we have been talking about a little wager, all right . Mayor, i dare you if you lose in the battle for who has the most volunteers, i challenge you to come volunteer with me wearing all as gear as gear. [applause. ] this is a wager. I want you volunteering with me at a charity with me wearing your as gear. Do you accept my challenge, mayor breed . Mayor breed that is hard. Wearing as gear . That is a bit much. I will accept. She accepts. I know we are going to win so she has to wear the giants gear. No, no. Nobody looks good in orange. Before i give up the microphone i have to recognize a few important supporters. The California Coastal commission facilitates this entire event all over our state. [applause. ] our oakland parks and Recreation Foundation is a fiscal agent for both cities for this challenge.

[applause. ] all right. London, show me what you got. Mayor breed let me start by saying, i have never been this excited since the Oakland Raiders and the 49ers played the last time at candlestick where we won. And we all know that in San Francisco we dont talk big, we just do big stuff. Mayor, my sister from across the bay, i accept your challenge because in San Francisco we already make cleaning up and greening and taking care of our city a regular part of what we do. In fact, every single month mr. Clean, our director of public works, mr. Clean himself, organizations Incredible Groups like united players and other folks out there taking care of the streets. Here is the thing. We have amazing volunteers. We have amazing people who work for the department of public works and the rec and parks department.

When people go around loving the city. Proof that you love your city. Roll up your sleeves, take care of your community, and you grew up in San Francisco, born and raised just like may or schaaf. Born and raised in oakland. One of the things my grandmother used to do is make us cleanup in front of where we lived. I did i kicking and screaming. It is paying attention to making sure my actions reflect how i feel about my city, that i am not just throwing garbage on the ground or putting Water Bottles in recycle and doing things to keep the city clean but to protect our environment. In San Francisco we have bee han doing an incredible job leading the way in a number of environmental policies. Our director of the department of environment is here. Thank you so much. The toughest band in the country, pushing for aggressive drug take off, continuing to work with the Coastal Commission to save our bay. Yes, this is a competition and San Francisco will win, but ultimately, Climate Change is real, and we have to start with young people. We have to start implementing the kinds of policies in San Francisco and throughout the world to make this planet the best place for generations to come. Just think about it. In San Francisco we never needed an airconditioner before. We have had record temperatures in the 90s that are unprecise departmented. We have to start taking care of the bay, the communities, taking care of each other, and also winning the bet, more importantly. San franciscans, it is time to step up to show your love.

I am part of the trash trackers in San Francisco. What i do. I track down trash. Somebody auto say yeah. I track it down. I locate it, find it and clean it up. I have been doing that for 30 years. We have been doing this a long time. We are glad to have oakland come to be a part of this. Guess what . We are going to win we already won it. Mayor breed, we got this. We accept the challenge and we are going to do it. I am reminded of a homeless friend of mine. He has been sleeping in tents three years. He is a sad looking guy but a happy looking guy. Every morning at 8 30 a. M. He gets up and cleans up around his tent. Then he goes to the other block and cleans other homeless men and womens tents. That is a good example of a community. We are going to have the homeless folks get out and cleanup, too. Understand this. Our homeless folks arent the only ones that are making the city dirty. That is not the truth. It is construction workers, churches, ymca, it is all of us. It takes the whole community to clean up the community. Wouldnt you agree with me . That is what we come to do today. I am proud to tell mr. Smith on september 21st right here in San Francisco you can come out and help us cleanup the city. applause . You should be happy about that.

What a beautiful sight to see the bridge, the bay, both mayors here. The city is coming together. Battle for the bay for this friendly competition. I will close with this. Encourage everyone to go on the website. Battle for the bay 2019. Org let the competition begin. Better. San Francisco Department of r. Environment is a place where climate hits the street. We know that we dont have all the answers. We need to support our local champions, our local community to find Creative Solutions and innovations that help us get to zero waste. Zero waste is sending nothing to landfill or incineration, using reuse and recovery and prevention as ways to achieve zero waste. The Grant Program is a Grant Program specifically for nonprofits in San Francisco to divert material from landfill. Its important to find the San FranciscoProduce Market because theres a lot of edible food that can be diverted and they need positions to capture that food and focus on food recovery. San francisco Produce Market is a resource that connects farmers and their produce with businesses in the bay area. I think its a basic human right to have access to healthy foods, and all of this food here is available. Its a matter of creating the infrastructure, creating jobs, and the system whereby none of this goes to waste. Since the beginning of our program in july 2016 to date, weve donated over 1 Million Pounds of produce to our Community Partners, and thats resulted in over 900,000 meals to people in our community, which were very proud of. Carolyn at the San FranciscoProduce Market texts with old produce thats available. The produce is always excellent. We get things like broccoli, brussels sprouts, bell peppers. Everything that we use is nice and fresh, so when our clients get it, they really enjoy it, and its important to me to feel good about what i do, and working in programs such as this really provides that for me. Its helping people. Thats what its really about, and i really enjoy that. The work at the Produce Market for me representing the intersection between environment and community, and when we are working at that intersection, when we are using our resources and our passion and our energy to heal the planet and feed the good morning.

As our first public event we hope today is unforgettable for all of you for great reasons. I am here to tell you a little bit about what we do in terms of Community Impact. You are going to hear more about that later on the panel. First i want to let you know how i found my way to the warriors family. I grew up on the gulf coast and came here for graduate school and i have been a proud bay resident for 28 years, 25 of those in San Francisco. I did graduate work working with young people at mission high and i had the great opportunity to evaluate nonprofit organizations that served young people on both sides of the bay for many, many years, and worked with so many of the organizations that the Warriors Foundation actually makes grants to. In working with the Alameda County government for the board of supervisors when i saw the opportunity to come home and do work with the Nonprofit Foundation funded by the Warriors Foundation doing incredible work to help our young people to attain opportunity and success it was a nobrainer to grab hold of this opportunity. This video will highlight the Community Impact work including the Foundation Grant making stretching beyond to Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives like the Chase Center Training program or the math program. We do so much work in Alameda County in san jose and to the north bay. We want to show you about that right now. I want to say reading is fun. One, two, three. Reading is fun. Warm it up. Satisfy, three, two, one. We have friends at the warriors who help us to help kids to get kids out to a game, great promotional opportunities in the arena. Our Education Department and social Rec Department have received a makeover thanks to the generosity of the Golden State Warriors. Welcome. Do you like that one . You want to try it . One, two, three. I will see you at the game. It is so open and warm and welcoming to us. He will remember this day for the rest of his life. There you go. One, two, three. I am chef vicky shaw. Learn about nutrition, reading labels, what food groups go together. Carrots are good for you. applause it is now migrat my my hoo introduce the executive director. Curt has been the executive director of rock, an Incredible Program for young people for 16 years now. It is hard to believe because i think he is probably only 24, but he is a professional helping young people live their best lives, achieve academic success and reach for opportunities that might not otherwise be available to them. One thing you might not know about curt. He started his career in the business sector and used to work for anderson consulting. This is one of your own. Curt is actually quite a renowned singer and song writer. You may have seen him not if in the nonprofit role but in a music club. Curt is going to tell us about one of the nonprofit programs the Warriors Program has supported for many years. Please welcome curt. Good morning, everyone. Let me hear good morning back. Good morning, everyone. All right. I am the executive director of San Francisco nonprofit real options for city kids, rock for short. Thank you to the chamber and warriors. It is exciting to be here. It is very relevant and the timing is perfect. This week marks the start of our 25 years of serving children in San Francisco. Thanks for that. [applause. ] we serve a community in San Francisco cause visitation valley. A lot of people have never heard of the neighborhood. We have our share of violence and it is low income and challenging for kids to grow up there. We also have a lot of great families who are working multiple jobs trying to raise their kids, a lot of sunshine there. If you dont know where it is. It is the location of the first home of the San Francisco warriors. The cow palace. We are right next to there. We believe that if we provide highquality programs rooted in social and emotional learning. Example teaching empathy or selfcontrol. If we allow opportunities for kids to experience new activities or new ideas and if we have programs where adults child ratios are low and kids have the opportunity be to form positive relationships with caring adults, our kids will have all of the tools necessary to navigate life. Our specialty is sports. I think that is why our partnership with the warriors has been so strong. In our 25 year history, we have only served visitation valley. It is underserved and it needs a lot of attention. We realize that to have the most impact in the community we need to go where the kids are, the school system. Ewith our partner ships we are able to provide full after school programs, weekend activities, summer day camps and overnight camps. You name it, we have it. I started as a volunteer for rock 24 years ago. I have had the privilege when i started volunteering i was working with Elementary School kids. Now they are in their 20s and 30s. They are College Graduates with successful jobs and many worked for rock. Some donated to rock. It is an Incredible Group of people. As part of the 25 Year Anniversary campaign we are launching a campaign called stories that rock. It features short videos of al alumni and staff and people positively impacted by our work. This is the world premier of the first stories at rock video featuring a past participant named marissa. Enjoy it. I am marissa. I am 25. I went to california state and graduated with a ba. Rock camp changed my life every year. In Elementary School there was this thing called flying squirrel. It was in the middle. Two trees in the middle of the green grass right by the cabins. I was nervous as h heck. I thought what is going to hand, what is going to happen . I went flying into the trees and it was like an amazing experience. I flew into the trees and i was like it was so fun. Both of my parents were working minimum wage jobs raising nine kids of in San Francisco. In the area we lived in visitation valley, my mom was scared for us to walk out the door. Rock to be basically my hand in leading me out of the city. I dont think that i would have had the courage, which is one of rocks virtues, to go off to college, to have experiences as i have. It is an imprint on your heart and on your life. Rock will be with you forever, and 10 years from now when you are in college or graduating college, you are going to walk the stage thinking about rock. That is what i did. Rock changes lives. It changed my life. It changed my siblings life and my parents lives. It just changes lives. [applause. ] thank you for that. Partnership was organizations such as the Golden State Warriors makes stories like marrigherspossible. They are a fantastic organization. We do receive some Financial Support. It is great anal allows us to do what we do and expand our programs. The Financial Support is great. Activities get me excited. I want to share the things we have done with the warriors in the 20 plus year history. We have attended basketball games. We have had dance clinics on site. We renovated two courts and classrooms. For the old School Warriors fans we have been visits to the camps. One of my favorite is clint. 10 years ago he took us to seaworld in san diego. It is fantastic. This is a warriors game a couple years ago. You can see the smiling faces, the number ones because we believe. See what i did this. We believe the warriors despite personnel changes will make it back on top and open up the chase center. Give it up for the warriors. Basketball clinics with the warriors on site at middle school. You can see the numbers. I see 27. I saw the nametag here as well. Old school stuff right there. If you have a chance to work with them, they are fantastic. Finally, the strip to sea world. There is shamu. Fantastic experience. Those young people are how adults. About half have worked for rock or currently are working for rock. One of my favorite quotes is by basketball coach john would den. The true character is what a man does with no one is watching. That is true for the warriors organization. The vast majority of the time there is no cameras, no reporters, no need for media attention. They are doing this because it is the right thing to do, they know how to work with the community, it is in their dna. What you hear is true. They are a true high Class Organization and we are a proud partner. If you want to learn more about us and the work we do and watch more stories. We are on social media. Thank you. Enjoy the rest of your breakfa breakfast. [applause. ] thank you to rock and to the Warriors Foundation. A big hand one more time. [applause. ] it is time for a special announcement.
