Self-eSTEM Is A Beneficiary Of The Warriors’ & PG&E “Free Throws For Futures” Campaign

This basketball season, every swish from the free throw line is making an impact far beyond the court.

We’re thrilled to announce that Self-eSTEM is one of four community organizations selected as a 2024–2025 beneficiary of the Golden State Warriors’ “Free Throws for Futures” campaign, presented by PG&E through the Warriors Community Foundation.

This high-impact initiative is channeling the power of sports to create pathways to educational equity—and as of April 7, 2025, the Warriors have sunk 1,291 free throws, translating to an incredible $645,500 raised to uplift educational outcomes for Bay Area youth.

Why This Matters to Self-eSTEM

As an Oakland-based nonprofit committed to building a strong pipeline of future STEM leaders, particularly girls from underrepresented communities, being a part of this campaign is more than an honor—it’s a game changer.

Funds raised through Free Throws for Futures directly support our mission to ignite curiosity, confidence, and leadership in STEM for girls who need it most. Whether it’s through our Early STEM Immersion programs, hands-on robotics workshops, or annual STEM Exploration Camps, we’re ensuring that more girls see themselves as future engineers, scientists, coders, and innovators.

When the Warriors shoot, our girls soar.
