Huge commitment to cancer research
Dolphin Digest|December 2020
The Miami Dolphins made some significant news off the field recently when the organization announced a $75 million commitment to cancer research at Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Huge commitment to cancer research

The Dolphins have been involved in the fight against cancer since the inception of the Dolphins Cycling Challenge (later changed to Dolphins Cancer Challenge) in 2010.

The organization has rebranded its effort as the Dolphins Challenge Cancer to reflect its yearround mission beyond the annual bike and run/event.

Here’s the full press release announcing the commitment to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center:

The Miami Dolphins are making a transformational gift to improving the lives of those impacted by cancer in South Florida with a $75 million commitment to Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center, part of the University of Miami Health System and South Florida’s only NCI-designated cancer center. What began as the Dolphins Cycling Challenge in 2010 will now enter its 11th year with a bold, new resolution: a 100 percent year-round promise to support life-saving cancer research. While the mission remains the same, the organization is taking a ‘one team, one fight’ mentality that will now be known as Dolphins Challenge Cancer (DCC).

“It is an honor to serve my second year as Chair of the Dolphins Cancer Challenge, particularly during this momentous occasion,” said Dr. Jacqueline A. Travisano, EVP and COO of the University of Miami. “This announcement is a true testament to the power of our South Florida community coming together to fund cancer research. The fight against cancer is deeply personal to many, including me. It is only through dedicated teamwork, such as the extraordinary partnership between Sylvester Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Miami Dolphins, that we can succeed in ending cancer.
