Help you . Every c. O. Can adopt a Public School. Every company can adopt a district. Every one of us can do something. I think that that is what is so powerful. Ultimately, its the connection with the principal thats so important the more work that weve done in the Public Schools, we just get reminded of that over and over again. In my mind, i always say how do i make presidio the best school on the planet . Each of us wants the best for our kids and make these the best schools that we can. So often its the principal that knows how to make that happen. Thank you to our principals. Thank you for what youre doing. This has been an amazing process for me. As ive been working on Presidio Middle School, ive had a lot of friends who have gone through this school and i didnt know that when i started the process. Ill tell them this story. Ive adopted this school and this is what were doing and so forth. Different friends of mine have said, i have went there, did you know i went there, one of our Board Members went there. The amazing thing happened is my mom came to me and said she was here for one year. [ laughter ]. Isnt that amazing . So my mom was here for one year. I dont know how she did that. I dont even know how that happened, but luckily i got some kudos from my mom when i said were working on Presidio Middle School. So we so stronger believe at sales force that were here for all of our stakeholders, not just the shareholders. Were here to serve communities, Public Schools, everyone who is part of San Francisco, oakland, or anywhere were doing business. Were thinking about the bigger picture. That is how we guide our companys management and our leadership. This is part of our mission. Thats who we are at sales force. Thats very much why for the last seven years sales force has forged really an unprecedented collaboration with the School Districts of San Francisco and oakland. We are happy to be their largest b benefactors to support them. Our journey has only started. We are at the beginning of what we can do with the schools. We are committed to the long term for our schools. We are there for our districts and for all of you. Its why we adopt Public Schools at sales force, 34 of them in the bay area. 100 around the world that have the same spotlight on them that presidio does. Here we have a commitment that every one of our Senior Vice President s at sales force has a adopt a Public School. Its part of their responsibility. This school is my school, so they lucked out. [ laughter ]. But a lot of the schools have the same level of attention and support. Our colleagues who i want to thank and who are here have given 4 million hours in volunteerism since we started the company. If youre a sales force employee, raise your hand so i can thank you. [ applause ]. Ill tell you, these results, its really working. We monitor if were doing the right things. We see these incredible results for San Francisco and oakland. For fulltime teachers for math and technology. A surge of kids who are enrolled in stem and Computer Science. More young women and more students of color. Higher attendance rates. Higher math scores. Higher grades. You guys all have to get higher grades now, isnt that good news . Thats what were expecting you to be in school more and have higher grades because of this. This year were going to give another 17. 2 million to San Francisco and oakland Public Schools. Incredible. [ applause ]. Im excited that weve given more than 67 million to these local schools. Congratulations to you. We are well on our way to giving 100 million to local San Francisco and oakland Public Schools. I hope that is just the beginning. [ applause ]. You know, i mentioned mayor lee and mayor lee is no longer with us, but our Work Together today is an homage to his life and legacy. We see the results of the partnership right here at presidio. When i adopted this school, i asked the students, what do you want . And they said, we want more fun. I said, well, what does more fun mean . Well, we want more fun at school. What does that mean . We want more computers, better networking, faster networks, better, faster wifi. And we want to have a better playground too. Is this a better playground . Yes. Did you like the prison yard that we had for you here before . No. We thought it was designed by one of the best prison yard design groups. You voted to change it, so we did. Where is ron who designed the playground . Right over here, ron. [ cheering and applause ] thank you, ron. Because when the kids said we wanted a new playground, we hired ron. He is one of the top playground designers in the world. Hes done a lot of amazing things. He came over here and he said, my vision of a School Playground is just a big pile of dirt that kids can play in and create whatever they want, that i admire the creativity of kids. And i thought maybe that wasnt going to go over very well. But ron is still after that idea. Then we came up with a huge vision for what the playground could be. Then the kids who were here before you said we dont like that. Thats not a very good idea. We said, fine, why dont we Work Together. So we created a class where those kids could work with us and ron. For a year they designed the playground you now have. So this playground is designed by the students of the middle school. That is pretty cool. If youre liking it and feeling like they made the right decisions, you should really congratulate them. If you dont like the decisions they made, theyre right over there at george washington, and you can go talk to them about it. With a help of a grant at sales force, we teamed up with the schools Security Guard to start a new book club. Some of the students in the club were able to attend a book event with the author angie thomas. [ applause ]. Im trying to give you inspiration that everyone here can adopt a Public School. To walk down a few blocks from your house just like i did. To knock on the door of the principal just like i did and let that journey unfold for you. Its very exciting. The most important thing is to listen to the kids because they have the answers. They represent the future of our world. Thats why we do this work, so that they have the education they need to be successful in the future and to take care of us because were getting old. Were going to need you to take care of us. Thank you very much, all of you. Thanks to all of you for being here. Were so grateful to everyone. Thank you. [ applause ]. Mayor breed im next. Thanks to sales force and mark beniof and all the work that you have done to change lives in San Francisco. Whats so amazing about sales force and their incredible leader, mark, is that Public Service is embedded in what this Company Stands for. Its not providing software only, which is a great resource to have, but its making sure that we are all doing our part to give back and support our surrounding community. Im so proud youre a native san franciscan. We appreciate all you have done and will continue to do to improve the lives of all san franciscans. Thank you so much, mark. [ applause ]]. Mayor breed ive got to say mayor shaf thinks it is San Francisco and is surprised that the rich man is shining bright with the sun. Every now and then the sun shines on the west side of San Francisco. I cant help but go back to my time i spent in San Francisco. I wasnt probably as well behaved as some of the kids are here today. In middle school, i was a handful. In fact, id always have to go to our girls Counselors Office and say it wasnt me this time. The thing about the teachers and principal, they never gave up on me. They supported, encouraged, listened to me. School was my sanctuary. Coming from a community i lived in public housing. There was a lot of challenges in my community. I was so blessed to have incredible teachers, counselors and principals. I played french horn at franklin ben and i wasnt that bad at it. The opportunity to be a part of an Incredible Community was what inspired me to want to also give back. Because i wanted to make sure that every young person in this city had an opportunity to succeed and to do whatever they want to do in life. There are people who invested in me at a time when i didnt understand what it meant to support the efforts and the work that i was doing in school. Now i get it. They were preparing me for a better future. That is our responsibility. It is a responsibility that i dont take lightly. Sales force has been at the forefront of really investing, but also Holding Others accountable to do more to invest in our young people. We have the resources right here in San Francisco. There was a real disconnect between my community and what was happening downtown in the financial district. A real disconnect between all the possibilities that existed in this city. Its why i started opportunities for all, to make sure that every High School Student has access to a paid internship. I know sales force provides incredible internship opportunities so these young people can learn firsthand what happens in the world of finance, technology, or any industry they choose to be a part of. Whether they want to take over when mark retires in a couple of years. [ laughter ]. Mayor breed he says you have to take care of him on top of taking his job. Whether i mean, im term limit out eventually. Were going to need new mayors, councilors, principals. Were going to need the next generation to not only take over the world in all these amazing positions, but were also going to need you to save our planet. There is a lot of work to be done and it starts right here, making sure that no child is left behind, no matter their financial circumstances, no matter if they were raised like i was by my grandmother in public housing, no matter where they come from in the four corners of this city, we want to make sure that we invest in our young people and that they have successful. Thats what today is about. Yes, it is a significant contribution, larger than any weve received in the city, but its a personal commitment from mark beniof and sales force, many of our officials and others, to do better, to make sure we are taking care of our young people every single day. It matters. Its the difference between what happened in my family. I became mayor and, sadly, my brother is still incarcerated. I lost a sister to a drug overdose. This is the same family, the same community. What a difference it makes when you make the right investment. So lets make sure that we listen to what mark is talking about. All of the companies out there in San Francisco, were coming for you so that you can take care of our kids and our future. [ cheering and applause ]. Mayor breed we all have to start taking responsibility for everybody elses kids too. Thats what today is about. I want to make sure that ten years from now that these young people are prepared for the future, theyre prepared to take over our jobs. I can tell by the look in their eyes that theyre going to do just that. So today is a celebration. Thank you all so much for joining us here today. At this time, i want to introduce my sister from across the bay. Shes making it happen in oakland and shes doing great things every single day on housing, on education. Im just so grateful to have a partner to address so many of the challenges that we know we face in some incredible cities by the bay. Ladies and gentlemen, oakland mayor, libby schaaf. I brought the oakland weather with me. It is so good to be here in our bay area. We may have two cities, but we have one bay. We have one bay area. We know that we rise or fall togeth together. Also in memory, since you invoked the memory of our mayor ed lee, someone who lived the values of regionalism. One thing i hope you all know about the mayors of oakland and San Francisco is we are homegrown girls and we are graduates of our Public School system. [ cheering and applause ]. Now, i want to pile on to londons challenge to the corporate community. There is a lot of talk these days about shareholder responsibility, how that is a thing of the past and we need to move on to stakeholder responsibility. I challenge other companies to do what sales force has done. That is put your money where your mouth is and put your love where your money is. The fact that sales force does not just Pay Lip Service to the idea of Corporate Responsibility but they invest deeply and they invest with humility. I dont know if ive ever heard a c. E. O. Use the word listen so much in a speech. I know you have not heard a lot of c. E. O. Speeches, but i have. Its not a verb that comes up often. Sales force approaches this partnership with our School District with a huge sense of humility, with a curiosity and a desire to learn from you young people who are the stakeholders. That is something that i think has made you successful in business, but it is also making you a success in our community. The fact that you dont just write a check, look at the love of all these blueshirtwearing geeks in the back row. Notice they let the kids sit in the shade and they are roasting in the sun back there. That is love. Now, i want to talk about what excites me so much specifically about the investment in oakland. Young people, we throw around this 8. 7 million. Let me say it in the long form 8,700,000. Okay. Think of a stack of 1 bills. Thats some serious cash. That is just this year. I just want to recognize that since you began partnering with oakland, you have increased your investment every year. [ cheering and applause ]. Since london had a go back in your time machine, youre going to have to indulge me a little bit too. We all can picture in our minds that teacher, that teacher that changed our lives, that teacher who is the reason that we developed the confidence, the vision, maybe the hutspah to be where we are today. What excites me about this years investment from sales force is a new focus on teacher recruitment and retention. [ applause ]. Teachers like ms. Ducatz. She was my Dance Teacher at skyline high school. When i started running for mayor, she would show up at all my events. She would raise her hand and inform everybody that would listen that when i was in high school i choreographed a dance number where i literally leapt off a tall structure into the trusting arms of my fellow dancers and that she knew i was going to be a great mayor because i have always been a risk taker. There she was. My High School Teacher tracked me down to support me for running for mayor in my hometown a lot of decades later. Trust me, my young friends, when i went to high school, i took typing class. There were no computers. There was no internet, no facebook, no snapchat, no fortnite, none of that stuff. And yet, when i became the mayor and visited my Old High School campus, it didnt look a lot different. Now sales force has changed that with a deep investment in Computer Science. You all probably dont know what a typewriter is, do you . Do you know who a typewriter is . I see a blank look right there. Its all right. Its all right. You dont need them anymore. Yeah, you. I am also truly excited in our investment in our newcomer population. I am extremely proud to be possibly the most unapologetic city mayor in america. [ applause ]. We know that our region thrives because of its commitment to inclusive diversity, and we recognize that while everyone in this expensive bay area is struggling, there is a special need from our families who are fleeing oppression, violence, and seeking opportunity in this country. We want to welcome them and help them be successful and thrive in our communities which we want them to feel is home. In oakland, we know that, like San Francisco, we struggle with homelessness. And yet, when we look at our Homeless Population of our students in schools, half are newcomer, uncompanied minors. That is something that deserves our serious attention, love, and care. Thank you for investigating in th that. [ applause ]. Finally, i want to recognize your continuing investment in middle schools. Middle school was miserable for me. It was a hard time. And yet, it is one of the most crucial turning points in our life, when you find your identity, where you start to dream big, where you start to see your future unfold before you. As i introduce our next speaker, i will share something personal because i know shes going to go into a little bit more depth about the oakland investment. One little fun fact about the two of us. I see you, principal. We are both the mothers of middle school, Public School students in oakland. So to our incredible, heroic middle School Principals, this investment could not be more deserved than by the leaders that take care of not just our babies, but literally our babies. Its my pleasure to introduce to you the superintendent of the oakland unified School District, kyla johnson. Trammell. [ applause ]. Thank you all for being here. I want to give a shout out to my tour guide so i could see the campus. Thank you for your hospitality and touring us around. If you can repeat after me. I am because you
