Backing The Bahamas: An Important Trip

After a group of Dolphins alumni and staff returned from the Bahamas as part of their continuing Hurricane Dorian relief support, Nat Moore explained why it was important for the organization to help out.

“First and foremost, it’s the humane thing to do,” Moore said. “What they’re going through, you wouldn’t wish that on anybody. Secondly, this is a country of fans that have supported the Dolphins from their inception. They’re season-ticket members, they’re watching every weekend. They’re a people that live and breathe Dolphins football and the Miami Dolphins are their team. They’re the country’s team.

“And thirdly, it could have been us. That storm was supposed to hit us. We dodged a bullet. That storm was headed directly for South Florida. The fact that we were blessed and didn’t get hit gives us an opportunity to have the ability and the wherewithal to reach out and try to help them.”

The group traveled to Nassau on Oct. 4, and the group visited the Children’s Emergency Hostel to deliver supplies, serve food and interact with the youth in residence. They visited a shelter and worked closely with World Central Kitchen to pack meals for those impacted in Abaco along with donating to the relief organization’s efforts to providing meals in the wake of natural disasters.
