Miami Dolphins Continue Hurricane Rebuilding Efforts in the Florida Keys Building a New Playground with KaBOOM! Designed By Children at Ocean Studies Charter
Tavernier, FL — Miami Dolphins Tackle Eric Smith, alumni Troy Drayton and Nat Moore, Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders Adrianna, Agustina, Ally, Amina, Brittany, Jamie, Jennifer, Katie, Rachel, Tamara and Terra, mascot T.D., Ocean Studies Charter School and 200 community volunteers joined KaBOOM! to transform an empty site into a kid-designed, state-of-the-art playground at Ocean Studies Charter School.
Ocean Studies Charter School was without a playground as the previous playground was removed due to safety concerns. Not only did Hurricane Irma halt the school’s efforts to raise money for a new playground, it also closed playgrounds across the Keys.
In February, kids from Ocean Studies Charter School came together to draw their dream playground. The playground is based off their drawings and together with Ocean Studies Charter School, the Miami Dolphins and KaBOOM! more than 100 kids will have a safe space to stay active.
“We are so thrilled to have this amazing opportunity. Play is so vital to children’s development and our children love to play,” Ocean Studies Principal Abbie Freeman said. “The Miami Dolphins and KaBOOM! have built their dream and we are so grateful.”
This is a continuation of the Miami Dolphins hurricane relief efforts following the devastation of Hurricane Irma. The Miami Dolphins Cheerleaders photographed their Annual throughout the Florida Keys and Miami, and proceeds from the 100-page book filled with beautiful and iconic images benefit rebuilding efforts in the Keys and all affected areas from Hurricane Irma through the Miami Dolphins Foundation.
“In the aftermath of Hurricane Irma, our Owner Stephen Ross and the Dolphins organization pledged $1 million dollars for relief recovery and rebuild — we were going to be there for the long-term rebuild in communities. And this project 7 months later is a part of that commitment,” Miami Dolphins Foundation Executive Director Jennifer Jehn said. “The Miami Dolphins Foundation is dedicated to honoring our proud winning tradition by being off the field community champions. We want our community to know that it can count on the Dolphins to be there, especially in times of need.”
This playground is one of several to be built in 2018 across the state of Florida serving Irma impacted communities. It will be the second build led by the Miami Dolphins.
Ocean Studies Charter School is a tuition free public charter school located in Tavernier, FL. As an A+ Rated School of Excellence, it offers students (K-5) an experiential learning environment with a marine science focus. To learn more, visit www.OceanStudiesCharterSchool.org.

Miami Dolphins sign 5-time Pro Bowl running back Gore
MIAMI – The Miami Dolphins today announced they have signed five-time Pro Bowl running back Frank Gore.
Gore is entering his 14th NFL season and is one of the most accomplished running backs in league history. His 3,226 carries and 14,026 yards rank fifth in NFL history. The four rushers ahead of him – Emmitt Smith, Walter Payton, Barry Sanders and Curtis Martin – are all in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Gore is just 75 yards shy of Martin for fourth all-time.
Gore is one of only five running backs in NFL history to record nine-or-more seasons with at least 1,000 rushing yards, doing so most recently in 2016. He has been selected to the Pro Bowl five times – following the 2006, 2009 and 2011-13 seasons – and was a second-team All-Pro honoree in 2016. Gore has shown remarkable durability, playing in 112 consecutive games (dating back to the start of the 2011 season) and currently has a streak of 108 consecutive starts. Both are the most by an active NFL running back.
Gore spent 10 seasons with San Francisco (2005-14) and three with Indianapolis (2015-17). He is the 49ers’ all-time leading rusher with 11,073 yards and was part of the team that won the NFC Championship in 2012 and played in Super Bowl XLVII. He originally entered the NFL as a third-round pick (65th overall) by San Francisco in the 2005 NFL draft.
A South Florida native, Gore attended the University of Miami where he was a member of the Hurricanes’ 2001 national championship team. He played high school football at Coral Gables High School where he broke the Miami-Dade County single-season rushing records with 2,997 yards and 39 touchdowns as a senior in 2000.
