Miami Dolphins in Collaboration with Ashley HomeStore Surprise 100 Kids with Beds at Hope to Dream Sleepover
DAVIE – The Miami Dolphins in collaboration with Ashley HomeStore surprised 100 underprivileged children with the gift of comfortable sleep for years to come at the third annual Hope to Dream Sleepover. Each of the children enjoyed a sleepover party at the Baptist Health Training Facility, where they received their very own twin-size bed and bedding from Ashley HomeStore complete with a Miami Dolphins comforter.
“We love kicking off summer by partnering with the Dolphins to make so many kids happy,” President of City Furniture, the South Florida licensee for Ashley HomeStore, Andrew Koenig said. “They have a chance to meet Dolphin players, party on the field and most importantly, try out the new beds that will help enhance their sleep for years as they grow.”
The event hosted by the Miami Dolphins on June 21 was the latest gridiron-themed sleepover for Ashley HomeStore’s international Hope to Dream initiative. The kids enjoyed dinner, toured the Dolphins locker room and powered through fun games and activities with Miami Dolphins players Davon Godchaux, Charles Harris, Bobby McCain and Christian Wilkins, cheerleaders and T.D. followed by a dance party on their new beds.
“I’m excited to be out here and entertain them let them see actual faces without helmets, represent the Dolphins and letting your inner kid come out. Put yourself in their shoes and see how they want to see you as a person,” Miami Dolphins Defensive End Charles Harris said. “I grew up in Kansas City, Missouri, me and my sister were the only ones in the household with my mom and I remember I had a twin-size bed always breaking down and I remember it had holes in it. Sleeping better and good quality sleep is something we preach around the facility so even as a kid having great quality sleep is very important for their growth, for their health and development. I think it is very healthy for them to receive a great bed, a bed to go to sleep at night that is comfortable, with the Miami Dolphins logo on it to inspire them.”
Ashley HomeStore, the largest furniture retailer in the U.S., dedicates a portion of proceeds from every mattress sale at participating locations to its nationwide Hope to Dream program, which has donated 80,000 new beds and bedding to children in need since 2010. All Ashley HomeStore locations in Miami-Dade through Indian River counties in South Florida are active year-round in the Hope to Dream charity’s donation program. Helping Ashley Homestore bring this year’s Hope to Dream Sleepover to fruition were Bedgear, Mantua and Tempur-Sealy.
This event is part of an ongoing series of the #DolphinsHuddlefor100 service projects as part of the NFL’s 100th celebration. The NFL has invited fans, players, clubs and employees to join Huddle for 100, an effort to inspire 1 million people to volunteer 100 minutes of their time to make meaningful contributions to their communities. These activities are in connection with the Miami Dolphins’ initiative to level the playing field through the power of teamwork to inspire a healthier, more educated and united South Florida community.

Miami Dolphins FOOTBALL UNITES™ in Collaboration with SAVE Host Champions of Equality Gala at Hard Rock Stadium

Distinguished honorees at the event included Miami Beach Commissioner John Aleman, Miami Dolphins Senior Vice President Jason Jenkins, Florida State Representative Javier Fernández, Aryah Lester, Steve Rothaus and Sissy Shute.
“It is only fitting that we host this year’s Champion of Equality Gala at Hard Rock Stadium, the home of the Miami Dolphins through which we have grown an amazing partnership as collaborators of FOOTBALL UNITES™,” SAVE Executive Director Tony Lima said. “On this night we recognize those who have made strides toward equality in the LGBTQ community. The Miami Dolphins are at the forefront of organizations through their exemplary efforts and we are ecstatic to honor them as an Equality Ally.”
SAVE is a community partner of the Miami Dolphins FOOTBALL UNITES™ program and is South Florida’s leading organization dedicated to protecting people of the LGBTQ community against discrimination. Through the FOOTBALL UNITES™ program, the Dolphins are supporting SAVE’s campaign to reduce anti-LGBT prejudice and to identify and build a list of supportive community members.
These efforts and initiatives align with the organization’s goal to level the playing field through the power of teamwork to inspire a healthier, more educated and united South Florida community. Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross and Dolphins players created the FOOTBALL UNITES™ program as a way to bring positive social change. The Miami Dolphins organization believes it is important to be inclusive of the diversity and aware of the intersections that make up South Florida, uniting groups of different races, genders, sexual orientations, identities, abilities and faiths around the power of football. These programs connect to the NFL’s Inspire Change platform, showcasing the collaborative efforts of players, owners and the league to create positive change in communities across the country and work with RISE – the Ross Initiative in Sports for Equality – to eliminate racial discrimination, champion social justice and improve race relations.

Miami Dolphins Rookies Participate in Rebuilding Together #DolphinsHuddlefor100 Service Project
DANIA BEACH – The Miami Dolphins rookie class alongside Dolphins Cancer Challenge (DCC) board members, Dolphins staff, Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center representatives and officers of the Broward Sheriff’s Office participated in a #DolphinsHuddlefor100 service project for Rebuilding Together Broward to beautify the home of cancer fighter Lena Mackeroy on Tuesday, June 11.
Mackeroy is currently receiving treatment at Sylvester, the beneficiary of the DCC. Founded in 2010 by the Miami Dolphins organization as the signature initiative of the Foundation’s health area, the DCC’s mission is to improve people’s lives through financial support for innovative cancer research at South Florida’s only academic-based cancer center – Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of UHealth — the University of Miami Health System. Since its inception, the DCC has raised more than $27.5 million, donating 100 percent of participant-raised funds to Sylvester.
“I am thankful from the bottom of my heart. This house is falling apart right around me and because of the cancer, I am not working or have the income for it,” Mackeroy said. “I never thought it would actually happen but it was when I saw everyone pulling up that I knew this was for real and I am so overjoyed.”
Guided by Rebuilding Together Broward and funded through the Dania Beach Community Redevelopment Agency’s At Home Dania Beach program, participants worked to landscape, paint and make other improvements to Mackeroy’s home. This marks the fourth community service event the Dolphins rookies have participated in during their tenure on the team. The entire rookie class participated in the event.
“People look up to us and we have a platform not a lot of other people have to give back to the community so to be able to help her out, paint her house and plant plants, it means a lot to them and it means a lot to me,” Miami Dolphins Rookie Andrew Van Ginkel said. “I had a little sister die before I was born (from cancer) and it means a lot to me to be able to give back in that regards and helping other people going through the same thing she had to go through. It’s a difficult situation, you just pray and wish them the best, and that’s why we are all out here to help in any way we can because you never know what a person is going through or how difficult their life may be.”
“This kind of partnership with the Dolphins over the last four years helps us do what we do. The projects that we get them on, they come in, accomplish what we need and it gets done,” Rebuilding Together Director of Operations Jason Mann said. “It is great to have a team of dedicated volunteers. You can tell the difference between people that have to be here and people who want to be out here and always with the Miami Dolphins team; they always want to be here. It is good to work with the Dolphins team every year because they actually care about the community and they want to be in the community helping.”
This event is part of an ongoing series of the #DolphinsHuddlefor100 service projects as part of the NFL’s 100th celebration. The NFL has invited fans, players, clubs and employees to join Huddle for 100, an effort to inspire 1 million people to volunteer 100 minutes of their time to make meaningful contributions to their communities.

“It was really interesting because I got to see all the work they put in during the offseason and how they’re preparing for their season. It just shows how much we have to work for our season to get to where they are,” Pembroke Pines Charter School junior offensive lineman Matthew Cilli said.

Miami Dolphins Host Barbara Goleman Senior High School & St. Andrew’s School Football Teams at Minicamp Practice
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins today hosted the Barbara Goleman Senior High School and St. Andrew’s School football teams at their minicamp practice. The teams were given a tour of the Baptist Health Training Facility at Nova Southeastern University and heard from Miami Dolphins Youth Programs Ambassador and alum Twan Russell about the importance of mental toughness. The teams also had the opportunity to watch the Dolphins practice and meet with current players on the field.
“To come out here, be this close to the players, see what the practices are like, see the effort that they’re giving, it’s great all around,” Barbara Goleman Senior High School Head Football Coach Ariel Cribeiro said. “I think Twan’s talk was great for our guys to understand the mental side of the game and the effort that it takes to be a great football player and a great football team.”
“My guys are unified, but I think this propelled us. We’re more together now after watching these guys play,” Barbara Goleman Senior High School junior wide receiver Zachary Valcarcel said. “This practice makes me want to model our practices like this. The receivers were moving really fast out of their breaks and I would like to implement that in our practice.”
“It’s a great experience for myself and hopefully more importantly it’s a great experience for the kids,” St. Andrew’s School Head Football Coach Jimmy Robertson said. “That’s something that we preach every practice is intensity. Watching it first hand from the Miami Dolphins, hopefully that carries over for us and we get to build off of that for our upcoming season.”
“It was a great experience seeing how the professionals do it, how everything is clean and crisp. How the quarterbacks kept control of the entire offense in the red zone and when they were driving down the field and how they had everything under control will help me a lot with my game,” St. Andrew’s School sophomore quarterback Jeremiah Young said.
