An NFL Hall of Famer, Ronnie Lott embodied the heart and soul of a champion on the football field and exemplifies true philanthropy off the field. An All-American at the University of Southern California, Lott was a first round selection of the San Francisco 49ers in the 1981 NFL draft. In his rookie year, he helped to lead the 49ers to a Super Bowl victory. His legendary career included four Super Bowl titles, 10 Pro Bowl appearances and 63 career interceptions. Since 1989, Lott has given back to the community through his non–profit organization, All Stars Helping Kids, which supports disadvantaged youth in the Bay Area and throughout the nation.
Ronnie Lott was inducted into the San Jose Sports Hall of Fame in 2009.
