SAN FRANCISCO -- For the first five years of his foundation’s existence, Anquan Boldin made countless missteps. He’ll be the first to admit that.
The wide receiver knew he wanted to help those less fortunate, but in practical terms, he had no idea how to go about doing so.
Twelve years later, Boldin has been fortunate enough to expand the Q81 Foundation’s reach not only in every city he has played, but also internationally.
Boldin’s philanthropic work has led to him being named a finalist for the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award in consecutive seasons.
