Every year, during San Francisco Fleet Week , the Blue Angels squadron honors one local community member who they call a 'key influencer' by rewarding them with the flight of a lifetime on a Blue Angels F-18. This year, they selected Curt Yagi of the nonprofit City Kids R.O.C.K., an organization who is celebrating its 30th year helping kids and students.'Real options for city kids, R.O.C.K. is the acronym,' said Yagi.
'So our strengths are social, emotional learning, lots of recreation, outdoor activities. But we also insert ourselves to address whatever critical needs there are,' said Yagi. Just last year, KPIX profiled Yagi and his organization as they provided free eye exams and eyeglasses for students. Yagi is also a former Jefferson Award winner.
