• In his hometown of Greensboro, GA, Blair has volunteered at Relay for Life, a branch of the American Cancer Society. The subject of cancer is near to Blair’s heart, as his grandmother, Annie Ruth Peek, passed away from colon cancer while he was growing up. In the future, Blair aims to start his own foundation with the goal of creating a community where people who are going through life-changing experiences can call home. “I lost my grandmother to colon cancer. I lost my grandfather to a heart attack. My stepfather was in a car accident and is now a paraplegic. So, those people have a special place in my heart and I want to get involved in helping with causes like those.”
• During the 2019 offseason, members of the 49ers took park in the Second Annual Picnic on the Field, located on the Levi’s Stadium field. Blair III and his teammates spent the day taking pictures with fans, who enjoyed music, food and games in support of the 49ers Foundation. The foundation, in conjunction with NFL Huddle for 100, partnered with Amazon to fill 1,000 backpacks full of school supplies. Fans and players joined together to assemble the packs, which were distributed throughout the community to children in need.
• Blair cites the transition from 8th grade to high school, and specifically a conversation he had with his band director, as a key moment that stoked his competitive fire. Entering the 9th grade, his band director wanted him to continue playing the tuba in the school’s band and not play football because he wouldn’t see the field as a freshman. That year, Blair became a starter on varsity. “That’s definitely one moment that sticks out and helped me develop in the football world,” said Blair.
• Blair III and his teammates surprised guests of the CityTeam Men’s Program and House of Grace on November 20, 2018, at Levi’s Stadium. The group believed they were just taking a tour of the stadium, but they were in fact joining the 49ers players for a night full of exciting events. The guests received a makeover and haircut, selected a new outfit from Dockers, snapped a new headshot and then shared a Thanksgiving dinner with the 49ers players
