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.

Arie Groen -Repping 24/7 in Florida

Pasco, FL – Arie Groen may quite possibly be the biggest 49er fan living in Florida. While growing up his first experience of professional football was watching Joe Montana doing his magic. He began collecting anything and everything 49ers which was not easy living in the heart of Dolphins, Buccaneers and Jaguars country. He would have to struggle to hunt down even the simplest 49er gear and merchandise bay area fans may take for granted.

All year long he reps his team as he drives around town in his very recognizable truck. He has an actual 49er helmet attached to his truck with 49er artwork wrapped onto his hood.
