Kickoff Players for a Purpose

PFAP Website Flip Header_2023

The 49ers Foundation hosted the sixth annual Kickoff: Players for a Purpose presented by SAP and raised a record-breaking $850,000+ for Bay Area youth!

The event celebrated a return to football and back to school nights and consisted of a live auction, fund-a-need donation campaign, and an offense versus defense showdown in a 49ers take on "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?" presented by U.S. Bank. We want to give a special thank you to the entire 49ers roster for joining guests at their tables for an unforgettable night on the practice turf at the SAP Performance Facility.

Together, we can remain faithful to the next generation.
