Philanthropy
In April of 2018, Taylor and his teammates attended the eighth annual Prom at UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital San Francisco in Mission Bay, with more than 200 teen patients and their friends. Patients and 49ers players enjoyed a fun-filled “Vintage Circus” prom with photo booths, music, dancing, dining and more. This special evening allowed patients to participate in a milestone that they may miss as a result of sickness.
During all Week 13 games in 2017, NFL players had the chance to share the causes that are important to them as part of the NFL’s My Cause, My Cleats campaign. The initiative was a culmination of collaborative work between the NFL and players across the league. “The USO strengthens America’s military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation,” said Taylor.
The 49ers joined forces with Martha’s Kitchen of San Jose as part of their Community Tuesday kickoff event on September 11, 2018. Taylor and teammates took part in the event by serving dinner to nearly 200 residents in need, refilling beverages and bussing tables. Both the 49ers and Levi’s Stadium partner with Martha’s Kitchen throughout the year by donating excess food after stadium events. Martha’s Kitchen’s mission is to “feed the hungry with dignity, no questions asked, no judgements made.”
Taylor and his teammates joined Levi’s in support of breast, colon and pediatric cancer warriors at the Crucial Catch Fashion Show presented by Dignity Health on October 2, 2018. 49ers players and cancer warriors took to the runway to show off their attire and share their stories of strength and courage with the audience
NFL players had the opportunity to participate in the NFL’s annual My Cause, My Cleats campaign during a designated home game between Weeks 13-15. Taylor and his teammates represented their respective causes with custom-designed cleats in an effort to raise awareness and funding.
