“A lot of our kids are from the inner city. They don’t really get to go to the games or anything, so being able to see their favorite players live is an amazing thing for them,” Miami PAL Director and Miami PAL Chiefs Commissioner Andra Barnes said.

Miami Dolphins Host Kickoff Ride To Commence Dolphins Cancer Challenge IX Registration

Davie, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins today held a Kickoff Ride to celebrate the registration launch for the Dolphins Cancer Challenge IX (DCC IX).

The Dolphins announced registration is open for the DCC IX earlier this week on Tuesday, July 24. The signature event, which is scheduled to take place on April 6, 2019, includes five bike routes throughout South Florida, a run/walk 5K and a finish line concert celebration all with the goal of tackling cancer.

“This morning we are all out here today to kickoff our DCC IX for what we hope to be our best year yet,” DCC Executive Director Jennifer Jehn said. “Ultimately our goal is to tackle cancer, and our event is to demonstrate that you don’t have to have cancer to fight cancer. Registration is now open and we encourage everyone to get involved by biking, running, walking, volunteering or fundraising.”

This morning’s event initiates the ninth edition of the Miami Dolphins’ annual community endeavor, which raises funds for innovative cancer research at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of UHealth — the University of Miami Health System. The DCC donates 100 percent of participant-raised funds to Sylvester. To date, the annual event has donated total to more than $27.5M. The Dolphins Cancer Challenge is the NFL’s single largest fundraiser.

Miami Dolphins and N.O.B.L.E. Team to Provide More Than 450 Backpacks To Kids From the Tri-County Area

DAVIE, FL – The Miami Dolphins through their Football Unites program, partnered with the National Organization of Black Law Enforcement Executives (N.O.B.L.E.) South Florida Chapter to host a backpack distribution for kids from Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties at the Baptist Health Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University.

Following their first training camp practice of the season, Miami Dolphins players Jesse Davis, John Denney, Lucas Gravelle, Matt Haack, Rubens Joseph, Greg Joseph, Eric Smith, Laremy Tunsil, Jason Sanders, Jonathan Woodard and Gabe Wright joined forces with N.O.B.L.E. and the Miami Dolphins Women’s Organization (MDWO) to distribute more than 450 backpacks and school supplies for the upcoming school year.

“I love playing for a team that gives a lot of opportunities to give back, giving back is a big thing for me,” Dolphins OT Laremy Tunsil said. “We’re on the field, and off the field we are helping level the playing field. Giving back to these kids is something special.”

As a beneficiary of the Football Unites program, the Miami Dolphins collaborated on this event to commence N.O.B.L.E.’s 42nd Annual National Conference in an effort to promote a better South Florida community and further level the playing field.

“N.O.B.L.E.’s partnership with the Miami Dolphins gives us the opportunity to live up to our theme for this 42nd Annual National Conference, which is collaboration through unity,” N.O.B.L.E. South Florida Chapter President Major Tim Belcher said. “We are collaborating and unifying ourselves with different organizations, especially the Miami Dolphins, and we thank them whole heartedly for their efforts and inviting us here, to their house, to bring the community this event to give book bags to the kids.”

The goal of NOBLE is to act as a leader in public service by providing solutions to law enforcement issues, concerns and the changing needs of the community. Coinciding with the team’s Football Unites initiative to empower and engage organizations that emphasize community engagement, education and justice reform, the Dolphins selected N.O.B.L.E. earlier this year as one of eleven grant recipients for the 2018 season. Created in November 2017 by Owner Stephen Ross and Dolphins players, these grants will provide funds for South Florida-based groups to strengthen and expand their impact around community engagement, education and justice reform.
