Event: JUMP: A Celebration of Sports, Entertainment and Social Justice
Date: February 15, 2025
Location: San Francisco Design Center Galleria

Larry Miller hosted a celebration to launch JUMP, his legacy initiative to catalyze first and second chances for justice impacted talent, in partnership with The Just Trust.

JUMP (Justice and Upward Mobility Project) – a new project of The Just Trust – aims to leverage the power and influence of sports and entertainment to unlock access to education, employment, and economic mobility for youth and adults impacted by the justice system and seeking a first or second chance.

Inspired by Larry Miller’s powerful story of redemption and success, JUMP seeks
to drive impact through four strategic pillars:

  1. Education and Employment: Create education and workforce development programs that catalyze pathways to livable wage employment and economic mobility for youth and adults who suffer from justice system involvement. This includes a focus on personal leadership development and partnerships with employers in the sports, entertainment and business sectors.
  2. Advocacy and Policy: Work with local, state, and federal policy makers to advance legislation that reduces collateral consequences and supports education, workforce development, and public/private partnerships that support inclusive hiring practices and reduce barriers to employment as a result of an arrest history.
  3. Media and Narrative: Develop film, media and storytelling campaigns that change public perception and reshape societal narratives around the perceived scarlet letter of living with arrest records and corresponding challenges.
  4. Coalition Building: Build local coalitions that mobilize educational institutions, community based organizations, local government, and businesses to foster first and second chance employment ecosystems.

Through this approach, in addition to democratizing opportunity – they’re transforming how society views talent, justice, and human potential.

San Francisco Ballet’s decadent 2025 Opening Night Gala was the ultimate convergence of dance, fashion, music, and visual art in the Bay Area on Wednesday, January 22. The evening commenced with a stunning dinner in San Francisco City Hall followed by a one-night-only performance to celebrate SF Ballet’s transcendent upcoming season, curated by visionary Artistic Director Tamara Rojo, at the War Memorial Opera House. The performance not only showcased the world-class talents of SF Ballet’s dancers, but also of the highly acclaimed choreographers featured in SF Ballet’s 2025 Season with glimpses of high-drama ballets such as Manon and Raymonda, contemporary North American premieres, and more. The celebration continued with a high-energy after party in City Hall featuring performances by DJ Umami and Tainted Love.

SF Ballet was delighted to welcome businesswoman Ayesha Curry as this year’s Honorary Gala Chair. The event was also supported by Gala Chair Pam Preston, Dinner Chair Terra Sollman, and Décor Chair Elizabeth Mitchell. Attendees included SF Ballet Chair of the Board of Trustees Alison Mauzé, Executive Director Branislav Henselmann, actress Elisa Donovan, Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco Curator in Charge Furio Rinaldi, artist Ranu Mukherjee, businessman Paul Pelosi, presenting sponsor John Osterweis, and many of SF Ballet’s current Company members. Revenue from Gala tickets directly supports the creation of groundbreaking new works, the preservation of classical ballet masterpieces, scholarships for SF Ballet School students, and community education programs that enrich the lives of Bay Area youth, families, and seniors.

​​Guests were treated to a special evening welcoming Aisha Ayensu to the Bay Area. The event showcased an immersive live model presentation of the Christie Brown x McMullen Fall capsule collection, offering a blend of high fashion and rich cultural storytelling. Attendees enjoyed a curated 3-course meal by Chef Lala of Jusla Eats, paired with delicious wines from Brown Estates, as they celebrated the seamless fusion of two distinct fashion perspectives coming together. A highlight of the evening was the debut of Christie Brown’s “At The Table” dinner series, originally from Accra, Ghana, now brought to Oakland, California.
