Miami Dolphins Win NFL Huddle for 100 Club Competition

MIAMI GARDENS, Fla. – The NFL today announced that the Miami Dolphins won the NFL Huddle for 100 club competition, a league wide effort to encourage volunteerism and meaningful contributions throughout the country. The Dolphins led the NFL with 75,623,500 volunteer minutes through 89,210 volunteers and 163 events. As a result, the organization will receive a $100,000 grand prize from the NFL Foundation to be used on a community service project.

“I want to thank the NFL for creating the Huddle for 100 program and recognize our team, community partners and fans for volunteering their time to strengthen South Florida,” said Miami Dolphins Vice Chairman, President and CEO Tom Garfinkel. “We appreciate our role as stewards of our community and believe that the power of football can make a big difference in people’s lives and the cultural and charitable organizations that serve our community’s needs.”

Kicking off at the 2019 NFL Draft, the NFL 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, totaling 100 million minutes of service. The NFL Family logged 397,253,630 total minutes of volunteerism, more than tripling the original goal. The 300-million-minute mark was surpassed during multiple Huddle events held across South Florida prior to Super Bowl LIV. The Miami Dolphins contributed to this initiative with the Dolphins Huddle for 100 campaign by working to level the playing field through the power of teamwork to inspire a healthier, more educated and united South Florida community.

Some of the Dolphins Huddle for 100 events included: The Dolphins Cancer Challenge, 5000 Role Models Police and Youth Conference, youth and high school football team canned food donations, volunteering at the Miami Beach Pride Parade, thanksgiving meal distributions and game day meal packing events with Feeding South Florida, a military veteran baby shower for expecting mothers and the Miami Dolphins Cheerleader Empowerment Series focused on mentoring local youth. These activities were powered by the organization’s Special Teams volunteer programs.
