Touchdowns for Kids Program Raises $139,000 for Bay Area Youth

In 2018-19, on-field achievements resulted in $139,000 in contributions to the Touchdowns for Kids Program. As in every season since 2011 when the program began, each touchdown, field goal, interception, or sack, produced much needed funding toward improving the lives of local youth in need via the Taube Philanthropies and Koret Foundation 49ers Touchdowns for Kids Program.

Since launching the program in 2011, the Taube Philanthropies, Koret Foundation, and 49ers Foundation have donated over $1,700,000 to support preselected Bay Area charitable organizations.

The Numbers:

  • $5,000 per touchdown scored by the 49ers
  • $1,000 per field goal scored by the 49ers
  • $1,000 per interception logged by the 49ers
  • $1,000 per sack by the 49ers
