AWARDS & HONORS2015: 49ers Community Relations Veteran Service Award

2016: 49ers Community Relations Veteran Service Award

GOLDMINE• Dial started his own foundation called the QD92 Foundation in

2014, with the mission to show love and support to underprivi-leged kids today so they will have the best opportunity to be our leaders of tomorrow. “Growing up back in Alabama and just knowing what it’s like not to have a gift on Christmas, not knowing when I’m eating my next meal, not having that family bond that a kid should have, I know what that feeling is like. It’s not a good feeling,” said Dial. “So, I created this organization just trying to fill the void for those kids, be a mentor to them and just try to do any-thing positive that I can for them, trying to be a positive impact on these kid’s lives.” For more information on the QD92 Foundation, visit www.facebook.com/QD92Foundation/.

• Dial connected with Alex Fernandez, a 20-year-old 49ers fan who lost his battle with brain cancer in July of 2015. One of the things that Fernandez wanted to do before he passed was to see a 49ers game at Levi’s Stadium. Through “QD Kids,” Dial sent Fernandez a package consisting of 49ers items: A team blanket, jerseys from QB Colin Kaepernick and LB Patrick Willis, an autographed foot-ball, hats and a poster. Dial included a signed jersey of his own and also included a video message for Fernandez. After he passed, Dial said on Twitter, “I want Alex Fernandez to know that he has made a difference in my life by sharing his story,” Dial wrote. “He is my hero, and people like him encourage me to continue our work through our non-profit QD Kids. I lead this non-profit in or-der to make ‘moments’ count for all children and adults who are combating challenges in their life. My first game is going to be dedicated to him for being a brave hero and for making a differ-ence in the lives of others.”

DIAL’S GOLDEN NUGGETS• Started the QD92 Foundation in 2014, whose mission is to

support underprivilidged kids today so that they can become the leaders of tomorrow.

• Earned his first career NFL start at NYG (11/16/14) and first ca-reer sack at NO (11/9/14) during the 2014 season.

• Dial’s mother passed away when he was 10. His father fell on difficult times, ultimately unable to support him any longer and he was brought in by the families of his church.

GOLDMINE (CONTINUED)• Dial and the QD92 Foundation were very active during the Holi-

day Season in 2016. Along with teammates Glenn Dorsey and Mike Purcell, Dial hosted a dinner for women who are battling Breast Cancer. Additionally, Dial took youths from the Bill Wilson Center on a shopping spree at the Levi’s Store.

• In 2015, Dial was very active during the offseason. He spent time at the Bill Wilson Center with underprivileged youth, participat-ed in a Special Olympics basketball game and helped a terminal cancer patient check ‘attending a 49ers game’ off his bucket list by visiting him in the hospital and supplying him with a bunch of 49ers gear.

• As an event for “QD Kids,” Dial helped organize a fundraiser called “Bowling 4 Backpacks” in July of 2015. All of the proceeds from the event went directly to buying school supplies and backpacks for kids in need.

• Dial’s church family has played a major role in his life and has posi-tively impacted him, making him the man he is today. “They have supported me a lot throughout the years,” said Dial. “They encour-aged me and prayed with me. I would say my church family is my biggest supporter that I have right now and has helped me to get where I am today.”
