Stephen Ross Announces Miami Dolphins Foundation Food Relief Program
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – Miami Dolphins Owner Stephen Ross and the Miami Dolphins Foundation announced a multi-million-dollar major-gift commitment through the Miami Dolphins Foundation at providing jobs and nutrition on a sustained and long-term basis through the Miami Dolphins Food Relief Program. The initiative, starting on June 1, will provide a minimum of 1,000 meals prepared by Centerplate, the team’s food, beverage and retail partner, each weekday out of Hard Rock Stadium up to a 12-month period to families in need in Miami Gardens through a voucher system. On Sundays, the Dolphins will work with area churches, local leadership, and community groups to purchase food from local restaurants to provide a minimum of 1,000 meals each Sunday that will be distributed to those dealing with food insecurity. The program will generate jobs and revenue for the local restaurant industry, while employing guest services and security staff at the stadium that have been idled as a result of COVID-19-related event cancellations.
Stephen Ross and the organization will invest $2 million in the Miami Dolphins Foundation Food Relief Program and will work to raise an additional $1 million by matching all dollars raised by the South Florida community and Miami Dolphins fans worldwide for a potential $4 million total impact. Individuals and businesses that wish to participate in the match program can donate online at dolphins.com/meals. All gifts are tax-deductible with 100% of the funds raised directly benefiting food relief. All donors over $50 will receive a special Miami Dolphins FOOTBALL UNITES™ gift from Ross and Vice Chairman and CEO Tom Garfinkel in appreciation of their participation in this matching campaign.
“We are committed to combating food insecurity and helping to provide consistent employment as the first step in rebuilding our community, starting in Miami Gardens,” said Ross. “We are thankful for the strength that our community has shown through this pandemic and it’s our hope that this program will inspire others to give.”
“Unemployment is growing and a lot of people are suffering and need help,” said Garfinkel. “It was important for us to start at home and help the most vulnerable in our community with a long-term commitment; not just a one-time event.”
“I commend the Miami Dolphins Foundation, owner Stephen Ross and CEO Tom Garfinkel for their commitment to the residents of our community,” said Miami-Dade County Mayor Carlos A. Gimenez. “They have set a high standard for others to follow as we all work together to provide food and jobs for those hit hardest by this pandemic.”
“Given the uncertainty of this crisis, all hands should be on deck, and all available resources tapped,” said Miami Gardens Mayor Oliver Gilbert. “The Miami Dolphins organization is stepping up and providing needed support for our Residents as we continue to fight against COVID-19.”
“The Miami Dolphins and Stephen Ross have been long time partners with this community,” said State Senator Oscar Braynon II. “As we continue to navigate the uncharted waters of COVID-19, their commitment to long term relief for those in need is what I have come to expect from this organization.”
The Miami Dolphins Foundation Food Relief Program expands the Miami Dolphins efforts to combat food insecurity in South Florida. In March, the organization gave $500,000 to help meet critical needs for elderly and youth in the community. These funds were used to support school meal programs for Broward County Public Schools and Miami-Dade County Public Schools, relief efforts led by churches in Miami Gardens and to bolster programs from Feeding South Florida to provide access to food for underserved populations in the area.
Earlier this month, Ross provided a grant for Miami Dolphins alumni John Offerdahl (Offerdahl’s Off-The-Grill), Kim Bokamper (Bokamper’s Sports Bar & Grill), Bob Brudzinski (Bru’s Room Sports Grill) and the late, legendary Coach Don Shula to provide free meals to first responders, Dolphins FOOTBALL UNITES™ community partners and vulnerable populations who have been severely impacted by the COVID-19 crisis. Over a three-week period, the restaurants delivered 35,440 meals and Pepsi provided 65,644 bottles of Bolt24.
In addition, Dolphins and Truist as part of its Truist Cares initiative partnered to support local small business and provide meals to the South Florida community as a result of the global COVID-19 pandemic. More than 2,700 pre-packaged meals were prepared by local food trucks and delivered to Miami Dolphins FOOTBALL UNITES™ community partners over a six-week period.

Miami Dolphins Announce Plans for The Outdoor Theaters at Hard Rock Stadium
Open-Air Theater and Drive-In will Showcase Classic Miami Dolphins Content and Classic Motion Pictures
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins today announced plans for The Outdoor Theaters at Hard Rock stadium, two exciting additions to its sports and entertainment complex with distinct socially distant opportunities. The global entertainment destination will now feature both an open-air and drive-in theater that will showcase classic Miami Dolphins content from the team’s 54-year history, classic motion picture films, host commencement ceremonies and other events. The family friendly experiences will provide a unique environment while staying in accordance with social distance policies. The drive-in events will be held inside of Hard Rock Stadium and accommodate up to 230 cars, while the open-air theater can host small groups for an intimate viewing experience on the complex’s south plaza. Renderings can be found here.
“We’ve spent several weeks planning this to be able to provide people with a safe option to go out and enjoy movies, classic Dolphins content, concerts, and celebrate 2020 graduates,” said Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium Vice Chairman and CEO Tom Garfinkel. “It’s a fundamental human need to physically experience and celebrate events and experiences together, and we’re trying to provide options for everyone where they can be safely socially distant and socially present at the same time.”
Fans can visit HardRockStadium.com/Theater for additional information. Food and beverage will be available through an online ordering and payment system with delivery service. Restrooms will also be available for use.
Earlier this month, Hard Rock Stadium previously announced that the venue committed to become the first public facility to receive GBAC STAR™ accreditation from the Global Biorisk Advisory Council (GBAC), a Division of ISSA, the worldwide cleaning industry association. This initiative will serve as the gold standard for facilities to implement cleaning, disinfection and infectious disease prevention work practices to control risks associated with infectious agents.
Hard Rock Stadium has played host to world-class sporting and entertainment events during its recent $775 million renovation including Super Bowl LIV, The Miami Open, College Football Championships, international soccer events, Jazz in the Gardens and Rolling Loud.

Miami Dolphins announce 2020 schedule
MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The Miami Dolphins today announced their 2020 schedule. The team will kick off the 2020 campaign at the New England Patriots on Sunday, Sept. 13 at 1 p.m. Miami will open its 2020 home schedule on Sunday, Sept. 20 at 1 p.m. when the Buffalo Bills come to Hard Rock Stadium. It’ll mark the first time since 2014 the Dolphins have opened the season with back-to-back divisional opponents.
The Dolphins will take on an impressive slate of opponents as they’ll match up against both participants in Super Bowl LIV with a trip to San Francisco on Oct. 11 and a home date against the defending champion Kansas City Chiefs on Dec. 13. In fact, the Dolphins will play five games against the AFC and NFC champions from the past two seasons as they’ll also play the New England Patriots twice and host the Los Angeles Rams on Nov. 1. Miami will play the last seven AFC champions over the course of the year, with the aforementioned games against New England and Kansas City as well as a trip to Denver on Oct. 18.
Miami’s home schedule is loaded with quality opponents as the Dolphins will take on the Chiefs, Patriots and Rams, each of whom has played in a Super Bowl in the past two seasons. Together, those three teams have combined to go 69-27 (.719) since 2018. Among other intriguing home opponents for the Dolphins are division rivals Buffalo and the New York Jets, the Russell Wilson-led Seattle Seahawks and two teams featuring top 10 rookie quarterbacks with Joe Burrow for Cincinnati and Justin Herbert for the Los Angeles Chargers.
With the AFC East matching up against the AFC West and NFC West this year, the Dolphins will play four games in the Mountain and Pacific time zones this season. In total, the Dolphins are scheduled to travel 24,424 miles roundtrip. That mark is just shy of the 25,516 miles traveled in 2016, which is the team-record for an entirely domestic regular-season schedule. Miami’s 24,424 miles will be the sixth-most in the league in 2020 and the second-most of any team not in the Pacific time zone (all mileage calculated roundtrip from each stadium with the assumption a team returns home after each game).
The Dolphins also announced their 2020 preseason schedule. Miami will kick off its preseason at Atlanta. That game will take place between Aug. 13-17. The Dolphins’ first appearance at Hard Rock Stadium will come in a preseason matchup with Philadelphia that will be held between Aug. 20-24. Miami will also host Detroit (Aug. 27-30) and travel to New Orleans (Sept. 3-4) in the preseason. Specific dates and times for preseason games will be announced at a later date.
All games can be heard on Miami’s Sports Radio 560 The Joe WQAM, the official flagship radio partner of the franchise, and simulcast on KISS 99.9 FM. Fans can also listen to the Dolphins in Spanish on Univision Miami’s WQBA 1140 AM. Preseason games can be seen locally in the Miami-Ft.
