SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS2020 MEDIA GUIDE

• In partnership with the One Love Foundation, Mullens, his 49ers teammates and their significant others participated in a film-based workshop with local high school students about healthy and unhealthy relationships. The group watched a film together, and thereafter, held group discus-sions about the implications of the relationship behaviors depicted in the film. The One Love Foundation believes that love is a skill we can work on, and focuses on three main elements to convey their message: content, conversation and community ac-tion.

• Mullens 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.

GOLDMINE (CONTINUED)• The 49ers and their families hosted 450 underserved boys and

girls from the Bay Area for the first-ever 49ers Hope for the Holi-days event. Each child had a once-in-a-lifetime experience travel-ing through Levi’s Stadium and left with a brand new bike, helmet, lock, haircut, shoes, toys, glasses, backpack, dinner and more.

• TE George Kittle partnered with the Jessie Rees Foundation to pass out JoyJars filled with toys and games at a local children’s hospital. Mullens attended the event and was joined by several of his teammates including, TE Garrett Celek, TE Ross Dwelley, TE Daniel Helm and LB Fred Warner who helped him spread holiday cheer and lift the spirits of everyone they met.
