physical therapy philanthropy
The 49ers Foundation Partnership
The NFL Foundation, alongside partners like Gatorade, the National Athletic Trainers’ Association (NATA), the Korey Stringer Institute (KSI), and the Professional Football Athletic Trainers Society (PFATS), initiated a pilot program. This program, an extension of earlier athletic trainer initiatives, provides funding to public high schools with football programs that have limited or no access to an athletic trainer.
Beneficiaries
We've been lucky to receive grant support from the NFL and 49ers foundations to supply athletic trainers and equipment to local high schools, including Wilcox, San Jose, and Santa Clara High Schools. This grant supports the health, safety, and wellness of athletes, youth football, and the communities that support our game, enabling us to provide local Bay Area athletes with the resources they need to play a safer game.
