During a visit earlier this month, San Francisco 49ers players—including quarterback Brock Purdy, tight end George Kittle, and defensive end Nick Bosa—helped cheer up patients and staff members at a nearby children’s hospital, the team revealed on Thursday.
According to the squad, the 49ers went to see patients in their hospital rooms, listening to their tales and attempting to share as much happiness and optimism as they could. They distributed blankets and team backpacks as well.
“Just going in those rooms and seeing what hardships they’re going through but still seeing the positivity shining through is something that really moves me,” Bosa stated.
The guys gave out donuts and personalized thank-you cards to the medical workers.
