Reggie Bush, Dan Carpenter, Karlos Dansby, over 20 current players, alumni, members of the Miami Dolphins Women’s Organization (MDWO) and cheerleaders hosted the Fins and Kids Publix Shopping Spree at a Publix location in downtown Fort Lauderdale.
“The community supports us, just like we support the community,” Dansby said. “Being able to hang out with the students and help families out during this time of the year is awesome. We have been so fortunate and so blessed, so giving back is vital as an organization.”
Members of the Miami Dolphins gave 100 underprivileged children from Miami-Dade (Parkview Elementary, South Miami Heights Elementary) and Broward County (Sunland Park Elementary, Broward Estates Elementary) Public Schools a $100 gift certificate to shop for a Thanksgiving dinner for their loved ones. They shopped with the children and helped them select the items for their Thanksgiving dinners.
“Publix and the Miami Dolphins have shared a long history of giving back to our local communities, especially to programs that benefit kids,” said Kim Reynolds, Publix Miami media and community relations manager. “To see the joy on the kid’s faces as they got to shop for Thanksgiving dinner with their favorite hometown heroes this evening was priceless.”
