The two-day charity auction was broadcast from the KNBR 104.5 FM and 680 AM studios on Tuesday, December 3, and Wednesday, December 4, from 6am to 7pm and featured once-in-a-lifetime 49ers and KNBR experiences, rare 49ers game-used memorabilia and testimonials from previous auction winners. The event featured on-air appearances by current 49ers Running Back Raheem Mostert, Super Bowl XXIX Champion Dennis Brown, two-time Pro Bowl Safety Donte Whitner and The 49ers Foundation Executive Director Justin Prettyman.

Jeremiah Crowe, Program Director KNBR 104.5FM, KNBR 680AM and KNBR 1050AM, said: “The 49ers Foundation’s Holiday Sports Auction continues to show the true generosity of KNBR’s loyal listeners and proud 49ers fans from across the Bay Area. The KNBR team would like to thank everyone involved in supporting this special Holiday event, and we’re already looking forward to next year’s auction!”
