Founding Partner
Attention 49ers EDU field trip program participants: The health and safety of your students, teachers and families is our foremost concern. In an abundance of caution given the spread of COVID-19 in Santa Clara County, we have made the decision to stop all 49ers EDU field trip programming until the end of June. We will contact you in the coming weeks to discuss next steps about rescheduling your visit either later this year, or in the 2020-2021 school year. Thank you for your partnership and for the work you do every day.
