The statues of Niner greats Dwight Clark and Joe Montana will be unveiled approximately four hours before kickoff. The memory and legacy of Clark, who passed away in June after a battle with ALS, will be honored throughout the game.
Add Raheem Mostert to the list of festivities this weekend. The 49ers running back will be presented with the 2018 Perry/Yonamine Unity Award before the start of Sunday's game.
The award, which was voted on by Mostert's teammates and coaches, is presented to the 49ers player who is a unifier and leader in the locker room, on the field, and in the community. The 49ers Foundation will make a $10,000 donation to Mostert's charity of choice, the Melanoma Research Foundation.
The Perry/Yonamine Unity Award is named after former 49ers players Joe Perry and Wally Yonamine, who each demonstrated the power of unity to make a difference on the field and in the community.
