Sunday Streets: Tenderloin

St. Anthony Foundation to Co-Host Sunday Streets in the Tenderloin on June 23rd!

Partnering with Livable City, the family-friendly event shows the benefits of car-free, safe community spaces like the Golden Gate Greenway project

 
“Sunday Streets is a joyous demonstration of the full potential of the Golden Gate Greenway initiative,” said Larry Kwan, MD, CEO of St. Anthony Foundation. “At last year’s event, I witnessed children playing outside, seniors enjoying the music and live performances on the stage, and families soaking it all in, all within a welcoming, safe environment in the heart of the Tenderloin. Home to more than 3,000 children, the Tenderloin is one of the most diverse and densely populated communities in the city yet lacks the open green space of other neighborhoods. The Golden Gate Greenway fosters positive connections, creating a stronger community and a more vibrant San Francisco.”
 
For its milestone year, residents of all ages are invited to celebrate together on the Golden Gate Greenway by enjoying an array of fun activities including:
 
– Dunk tank
– Food trucks
– Live music from multiple local bands
– Photo booth
– Sports – basketball and soccer
– Circus performers from Circus Center, stilt walkers, aerial performances
– Plant-potting and greening of the block
– Community information booths
– Contests, giveaways, and prizes
 
While St. Anthony’s is co-hosting the event with Livable City, several organizations are also participating in the Sunday Streets event, including Asian Pacific Islander Cultural Center (APICC), the Tenderloin Neighborhood Development Corporation (TNDC), Glide Memorial Church, Circus Center, Tenderloin Community Benefit District (TCBD), San Francisco Public Library, Tenderloin Museum, Street Soccer USA, De Marillac Academy, Wu Yee Children’s Services, 826 Valencia, Code Tenderloin, Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT), Chinatown Community Development Center (Chinatown CDC), San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department, Friends of the Urban Forest, and San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA), among several others.
