Little Monsters' Holiday Celebration at MONSTER PARK
On Fan Appreciation Day 2006, Monster Cable hosted some 200 children, ages 5 to 12, from various organizations in the local community. In a large tent in the stadium parking lot, the children had the opportunity to make crafts, watch magic, get their faces painted, and open presents from the Giving Tree. There were also appearances by several 49ers alumni, the Gold Rush Cheerleaders, Sourdough Sam, and our very own PowerCell pals, Pete and RePete.
The event offered Monster the opportunity to foster important relationships within the community, and share the holiday spirit with some wonderful children. The day ended with all of the children and their chaperones watching the 49ers play the Buffalo Bills.
