Miami Dolphins FOOTBALL UNITES™ Participates in Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins FOOTBALL UNITES™ program, under the organization’s “Teamwork At Work” initiative, took part in the Special Olympics’ Law Enforcement Torch Run on Friday, April 26, 2019.
“We were proud to host our FOOTBALL UNITES™ community partners at Hard Rock Stadium. Special Olympics South Florida, Miami Gardens Police Department and North Miami Police Department are igniting a spirit of altruism and today was a terrific example of that flame being shared in our community,” Miami Dolphins Senior Vice President of Communications & Community Affairs Jason Jenkins.
The Law Enforcement Torch Run was a collaborative effort among FOOTBALL UNITES™ community partners including Special Olympics South Florida, Miami Gardens Police Department (MGPD) and North Miami Police Department (NMPD). Participants ran from the MGPD station to Hard Rock Stadium and then passed the Special Olympics Torch to NMPD.
“It is always a proud moment for us to partner with the Miami Dolphins FOOTBALL UNITES™ program and the Miami Gardens Police Department on initiatives, like the Special Olympics Law Enforcement Torch Run. As Guardians of the Light, it is an honor to team-up as we light the way for acceptance and inclusion,” North Miami Police Department Chief of Police Larry Juriga said.
“We are very excited to participate in the Law Enforcement Torch Run in support of Special Olympics. It just goes to show that we have one vision, one mindset,” Miami Gardens Police Department Chief of Police Delma K. Noel-Pratt added.
This event is one 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 connect to the Miami Dolphins “Teamwork at Work” initiative to level the playing field through the power of teamwork to inspire a healthier, more educated and united South Florida community.
