More about San Francisco 49ers
The San Francisco 49ers are focused on keeping kids “Safe, On Track, and In School,” donating $2.9M in 2012.
The 49ers emphasize child welfare because of the need for support of at-risk youth in our community and a personal connection from ownership to the impact that positive role models can have in the lives of young people. In support of this mission, the 49ers create targeted and impactful programming. This includes supporting organizations that develop the potential of youth, seek to eradicate child abuse, and provide opportunities for youth who have gone astray and need assistance developing a path that will enable them to be contributing adults.
The primary beneficiaries of these efforts are the 49ers Academy (East Palo Alto), Fresh Lifelines for Youth, Bayview/Hunters Point YMCA, Center for Youth Wellness and San Francisco Child Abuse Prevention Coalition.
These efforts tie together to make discernible and long-lasting impacts on those we serve. The 49ers are extraordinarily proud of the fact that 100% of players participated in one or more of 150 community events in 2012. The spirit of giving is deeply embedded in the 49ers franchise and players, ownership, coaches, and staff participate in outreach events on a weekly basis.
