If there's one thing everyone knows about 12-year-old Elijah, it's that he's the biggest 49ers fan you will ever meet! Coming from a family of equally enthusiastic 49ers fans, it's unsurprising that Elijah's favorite way to spend time was outside his Temecula neighborhood, passing, throwing, and catching a football. However, after being diagnosed with cancer, Elijah sadly had to put a pause on football while receiving treatment for his health. For his wish, Elijah returned to playing his favorite sport of all time — football — alongside his favorite sports team of all time — the San Francisco 49ers!

Elijah got the chance to be up close in action and play catch with famous 49ers players, like Jimmie Ward, George Kittle, and Brock Purdy. By the end of his visit with the 49ers, Elijah not only left with an autographed bright red 49ers jersey but also the most unforgettable memories and an experience of what it's like to be a professional football player.
