Kareem Abdul-Jabbar joins Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho to Celebrate a 10-year Partnership between Los Angeles Unified and the Skyhook Foundation
WHAT: Los Angeles Unified and the Skyhook Foundation celebrates a 10-year partnership in support of STEM and environmental and outdoor education. A check presentation of $100,000 by the Skyhook Foundation founder and NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar underscores his ongoing commitment to providing these weeklong science camp programs to underserved children.
The Skyhook Foundation has partnered with Los Angeles Unified for over a decade to support overnight residential science programs with Camp Skyhook at Clear Creek. The many benefits of learning science and climate literacy in real-world environments are not available to a majority of students. The expansion of environmental and climate literacy programs within Los Angeles Unified will continue to benefit from the relationship with the Foundation.
