Bay Area Community Involvement
At Venardi Zurada, community engagement is more than a tradition; it’s a core part of who we are. With deep Bay Area roots and a steadfast commitment to uplifting the neighborhoods we live and work in, our team actively gives back through a wide array of initiatives, from annual Thanksgiving food drives and back‑to‑school events to sponsoring the Special Olympics NorCal and supporting youth mental health awareness. Whether partnering with local leaders like Fred Warner or volunteering with community organizations, Venardi Zurada strives to make a meaningful impact, strengthening families and fostering opportunity across the region because we believe that true advocacy extends far beyond the courtroom.

49ers Foundation 50/50 Raffle
We are the official presenting partner of the 49ers Foundation’s 50/50 Raffle, which benefits ten different community programs and nonprofits each season. Half the proceeds go to a lucky fan; the other half directly funds Bay Area charities through the 49ers Foundation.

Cal-Hi Sports
Additionally, we partner with 49ers Cal-Hi Sports, an organization that supports high school student-athletes in the Bay Area. Each week, a news segment called “Hometown Heroes” airs, highlighting an individual’s efforts in the athletic community.

Takeaways for Troops
Takeaways for Troops is dedicated to supporting nonprofits that provide vital services to military members and veterans. Every defensive takeaway—whether it’s an interception or a fumble recovery—translates into a meaningful donation to organizations serving our nation’s heroes.
