The San Francisco 49ers' game-worn jerseys from Monday night's loss will be auctioned off to support those affected by the Camp Fire in northern California, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

The net proceeds will go to North Valley Community Foundation.

George Kittle, Nick Mullens, DeForest Buckner, Kyle Juszczyk, Joe Staley, and Matt Breida all agreed to donate their autographed jerseys earlier in the day, according to general manager John Lynch.

The proceeds of the game's 50/50 raffle will also be donated to NVCF. The team will, in turn, donate $50,000 to SEAL Family Foundation, the originally scheduled beneficiaries of the raffle, according to Kirk Larrabee of 247 Sports.

The Paradise High Football team, consisting of 35 players, 16 cheerleaders, and eight coaches, was invited to Monday night's game at Levi's Stadium after the devastating fires tore through their community, per Nick Wagoner of ESPN.

"What that town, what that community has gone through, it's just heart-wrenching, gut-wrenching for all of us," Lynch said. "So, you just look for anything you can do. I think when you can take people's minds off something for a short time, of course we'd do anything possible. I think it's just a show of solidarity of our community, we've got to all stand together and reach out and help each other during a time like this."
