Scott Sidwell, Director of Athletics, University of San Francisco:
"We are thrilled to partner with Harper for Kids led by Tim and Peanut Harper. The opportunity to teach the great lessons of Coach Wooden's Pyramid of Success are what we are teaching our own student athletes on a daily basis. We believe that we can impact the lives of the youth of San Francisco by visiting with them in their schools, teaching positive lessons, and having them come to our games. We want them to believe that some day they may be able to have the opportunity to attend college and be successful in their lives.”
