One year after arriving in San Francisco in 1853, Levi Strauss donated some of his first profits to the San Francisco Protestant Orphan Asylum (later called Edgewood). It was the city's first children's service agency. Today, Edgewood continues working with children, supporting their mental health needs. I was fortunate to celebrate the 100th Anniversary of their current campus. Congratulations Edgewood Center for Children and Families and thanks for doing such important work!

Today is World Mental Health Day.?At a time when 1 in 6 U.S. youth aged 6-17 experiences a mental health condition each year, it is important to raise awareness about mental health and help youth find resources that promote their wellness. Today, and every day of the year, Edgewood is committed to being the place for Bay Area youth and families to find the care they need in support of their mental health and well-being.

Thanks again to Team Moody's for providing these kits for kids! They’ll be put to good use as we gear up to go back to school!

We honor Willie Mays' legacy as a trailblazing athlete, generous philanthropist, and community leader. In addition to providing support to Edgewood Center through his Say Hey Foundation for many years, he regularly made it possible for our youth and program staff to attend San Francisco Giants games. He also met with them when attending games and took an interest in visiting with each child and teen to learn about their interests and dreams. We honor his legacy and commitment to providing youth positive opportunities and safer communities.

Mark your calendar for the 59th Edgewood Fair at the Olympic Club Lakeside on March 6 and 7, 2025! Watch for details and sponsorship opportunities.
