Miami Dolphins Foundation

The Miami Dolphins Foundation was established in 1995 as the fundraising arm of the Miami Dolphins Football Team. The Dolphins, through the Foundation, have made a commitment to the betterment of South Florida youth through a direct focus on, but not limited to, educational, health, social and community service issues.

The Miami Dolphins Foundation contributes, whenever possible, to charitable groups that are compatible with the philosophy of the Foundation. Resources for contributions are procured through various fundraising events throughout the year, such as the Miami Dolphins Fishing Tournament, the Miami Dolphins Golf Tournament, Dolphins Auctions, the Scoreboard Celebration Club, gameday raffles and training camp raffles.

Organizations and programs the Miami Dolphins Foundation support include the sponsorship of Broward and Miami-Dade Public Libraries Summer Reading Programs, Children’s Book Week, Teen Read Week, the Books and Bears program, Miami Dolphins Outdoor Learning Center at Island Dolphin Care, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, Junior Achievement, Boys and Girls Club, Jewish National Fund, University of Miami Sylvester Cancer Center, Coastal Conservation Association, Broward Partnership for the Homeless and the United Way.

FOUNDATION EVENTS
  • Miami Dolphins Fishing Tournament - Current and former players and coaches join avid fishermen for a full day of fun and deep sea fishing. The event includes a Captain’s Party and an Awards Dinner featuring live and silent auctions. The 12th annual event held this past May raised more than $300,000 for the Miami Dolphins Foundation. The Junior Anglers Clinic Presented by Publix is held prior to the event with kids from the Boys and Girls Club of Broward County. The children are given fishing tips by Miami Dolphins players.
  • Miami Dolphins Foundation Golf Tournament - The Miami Dolphins Golf Tournament is held annually to benefit the Miami Dolphins Foundation. One of the recipients of the funds raised since the tournament’s inception in 1998 is former Dolphins All-Pro defensive end Doug Betters, who suffered a spinal cord injury as the result of a skiing accident in his native Montana. Each year, current and former players and coaches participate in the tournament, which has raised more than $1,350,000.

DOLPHINS AUCTIONS
Dolphins players lend more than 400 signatures on items that are currently being auctioned off on the team’s official web site to raise money for the Miami Dolphins Foundation. In addition to the autographed memorabilia, Dol-Fans have the opportunity to bid on Dolphins game-used items and unique gameday experiences. Gameday experiences include the opportunity to go on the field to collect the opening kickoff tee, travel on the team charter to an away game, or be an honorary field photographer for a home game, among other unique experiences.

DOLPHINS LICENSE PLATES
Dol-Fans show their support of the team and help support the Miami Dolphins Foundation through the purchase of Miami Dolphins license plates. From each license plate purchase, a total of $2.50 goes toward the Foundation. Annually, the sale of these custom license plates helps to raise more than $50,000 for the Foundation.

All requests for autographed items, player appearances or tickets should be directed to the Florida Marlins or Miami Dolphins.
