Celebrate the Legacy of the 49ers with Letters to 87 Live!

Football fans will always remember “The Catch” as the moment a dynasty was born. When Dwight Clark caught the touchdown pass that sent the 49ers to their first Super Bowl in 1982, an indelible moment was etched into the history of the NFL. Later, as Clark battled ALS, he and sportswriter Matt Maiocco put out a call to friends and fans to ask them to share their memories of this moment. The letters that Clark and Maiocco received tell the story of how the man who wore number 87 brought together a city and a franchise through his sincerity, his loyalty, and his spirit for life and the game.

Running Time: approx. 90 minutes, with no intermission

Join us for a special star-studded evening at the Lesher Center for the Arts presented by the Diablo Regional Arts Association. We will look back on the legacy of “The Catch” and the 49ers in the Bay Area. There will be a panel featuring Hall of Fame quarterback Steve Young as well as 49er greats Brent Jones, Eric Wright and Dwight Hicks moderated by NBC Sports’ Matt Maiocco. Your ticket includes a copy of the commemorative book Letters to 87 which features essays by former owner Edward J. DeBartolo Jr., Ronnie Lott, Joe Montana, Brian Murphy and Kelly Clark. It also includes rare photos from Michael Zagaris, Brad Mangin and John Storey.

Regular admission tickets to the event are $50 with proceeds going to the Golden Heart Fund, a charity that was near and dear to Dwight Clark. The Golden Heart Fund provides emotional, financial and physical support to former 49ers players in dire need of assistance. A special VIP reception is also available for $187 and includes a ticket to the show, a book and admission to the VIP reception featuring all panel participants plus some surprise special guests. Space is limited to the VIP reception, please order early.
