Seattle Niner Faithful Polar Plunge

SEATTLE, WA. – Deep in the heart of enemy territory there is a Niner Empire movement to be reckoned with. They are the Seattle Niners Faithful Booster Club and Chapter. They prove yet again it’s nurture over nature because even living in an ugly terrain of Seahawks fans, 49er fans never fail to “Represent With Class”. The group which is led by their president Alex Carson decided to give back to their community back in October of 2014. Starting with a canned food drive at all of their viewing parties, they quickly gathered quite a few cans and donated them to local centers. They kept it going by doing a Toys for Tots drive in November. They gathered over 230 toys and donated those.

408 Chapter Toy Drive

Palo Alto, CA. – The 408 Chapter had an AMAZING experience at Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital this past Thursday. It was the result of Chapter presidents Lisa Gutierrez and Robert Garcia’s efforts of organizing a toy drive for the kids at the hospital.

Since San Jose’s Blue Chip Restaurant/Sports Bar is home to the 408 49er Empire, they spoke to owner and Diehard 49er Rudy DeAnda about placing their donation barrels there. For a great cause they put team differences aside and also set up barrels for Cowboys and Steeler fans to help donate as well.

When all was said and done they had collected over 150 toys and clothes.

Fresno Chapter in the Community

December 23, 2014 by Rajeev Prasad

FRESNO, CA. – Great news from the Niner Empire Fresno Chapter! Today they had a very humbling experience in their on ongoing community efforts.

With the various fundraising they’ve had throughout the year they were able to help three random families at a local Walmart. They said some folks were leary, thinking what’s the catch or it’s too good to be true, but in the end they were all thankful and one even shed tears of joy. While there they also had the opportunity to talk to the stores Focus Manager, Mike Liebsch, and look forward to partnering up on future charitable activities. Moments like these remind us of the reason for the season (as cliche as it might sound) and again the main reason we brought our fans together in Fresno.
