Leesa Sleep, a direct-to-consumer online luxury mattress retailer, and former pro-basketball player Baron Davis have teamed up to donate 300 mattresses to the Oakland Public Education Fund, in hopes of providing a comfortable place for the children to rest and dream big.
Inspired by Leesa's commitment to provide a more restful environment for children and families in need, Baron has been a long-time Leesa partner after learning about their mission and commitment to provide better rest for children and families in need across the United States.
Leesa is proud to add the Oakland Public Education Fund to their network of giving partners, making them one of over 1,000 giving partners across the US, Canada and Europe. The Oakland Public Education Fund is devoted to raising money and providing aid to the children of the Oakland school system and has raised over $60 million in the last five years alone.
"I decided to partner with Leesa because they get the importance of giving back to those who need help the most," says Davis. "I'm especially moved today, because I get to see their work make a difference in the Oakland community that's near and dear to my heart."
"It's a privilege to support the selfless work of extraordinary organizations like OPEF, and Leesa is proud to be a part of their impact," said Jen-Ai Notman, head of social impact at Leesa. "Leesa's mission is to provide deeper rest for everybody, and with this partnership with OPEF we are making that possible for hundreds of kids today."
