In addition, the 49ers will host a stadium fund-raising drive with the assistance of ZTA from 11:30 a.m. to kick-off, with all proceeds benefitting the American Cancer Society.

A total of 40 women who have battled or are currently battling the disease will take the field during halftime with their most significant supporter in a ceremony, followed by a special Gold Rush performance to "Fight Song." All of the guests will receive a custom Pink BCA shirt provided by Dignity Health.
- The National Anthem will be sung by Michael Sicoly, who has performed professionally since his teen years in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, Canada. Sicoly boasts two CDs, including his debut album of original Jazz-Swing music entitled "Meet You In Manhattan" along with his second CD of mixed original and covers, "Mood Swings."

Their debut LP "Waiting For The Dawn" had numerous TV, commercial and video game placements and the band went on to headline sold out tours throughout the country.
- In keeping with the great tradition of the legendary Candlestick Park foghorn, a special guest is chosen each week to get the crowd started by energizing the foghorn prior to kickoff.
