On Wednesday, September 9, the San Francisco 49ers Academy hosted its third annual “girlfriend event,” Cocktails and Couture. The sold-out event attracted more than 400 attendees, including 49ers S Eric Reid and Alumnus Eric Heitmann and served to benefit local students in the San Francisco 49ers Academy. The San Francisco 49ers Academy opened in 1996 with the goal of bridging the opportunity gap for students in underserved communities. Defined by educational excellence, the 49ers Academy serves 6th, 7th and 8th grade students from East Palo Alto. The school, located in East Palo Alto’s most at-risk neighborhood, emphasizes self-discipline, respect, and individualized attention to help students master core subjects and prepare for high school.
