GOLDMINE (CONTINUED)• The 49ers worked along-

side the humanitarian-re-lief organization Convoy of Hope on December 4, 2018, and hosted 1,500 guests in-need from Bay Area nonprofits and schools at Levi’s® Stadium for a free holiday resource fair. War-ner and his 49ers team-mates distributed grocer-ies, toys, books, shoes and other holiday offerings to the guests. The attendees also received haircuts, utilized health resources and took family portraits or professional headshots. Convoy of Hope is a nonprofit organization that directs children’s feeding initiatives, hosts community outreach programs and pro-vides disaster response resources to those in need in the Bay Area and throughout the world.

• Warner and his teammates surprised guests of the CityTeam Men’s Program and House of Grace in November of 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 hair-cut, selected a new outfit from Dockers, snapped a new headshot and then shared a Thanksgiving dinner with the 49ers players.

• On October 15, 2019, Warner and his teammates spent time with fans and members of local Silicon Valley businesses to compete in a bowling tournament as the 49ers Foundation hosted the second annual 1st and Bowl Challenge. The funds raised at the event will support the charitable programs of the 49ers Foundation and benefit Bay Area youth.

• Warner and his fellow rookies par-ticipated in the annual 49ers Men-torship Academy on September 18, 2018. The Mentorship Acad-emy, partnering with USA Football, is a three-step program designed to provide high school football players with the opportunity to de-velop the skills necessary to suc-ceed and be leaders on and off the field. The rookie class invited the high schoolers to the team facility, where they shared opinions and lessons over a meal and fun competitions.

• The 49ers joined forces with Martha’s Kitchen of San Jose as part of their Community Tuesday kickoff event on September 11, 2018. Warner and teammates took part in the event by serving dinner to nearly 200 residents in need, refilling beverages and bussing tables. Both the 49ers and Levi’s Stadium partner with Martha’s Kitchen throughout the year by donating excess food after stadi-um events. Martha’s Kitchen’s mission is to “feed the hungry with dignity, no questions asked, no judgements made.”
