Shedding Light On The Foundation And More

Dolphins CEO Mike Dee just stepped to the microphone to highlight all of the positive things being done in the community by the team and the Miami Dolphins Foundation as well as the partnership with Sun Life Financial.

He then introduced a special video showing great moments from 2009, including the trip to Haiti last month to deliver tents to those suffering from the earthquake. The video was played to the tune of Supertramp's "Give A Little Bit."

Then Sun Life Financial Senior Vice President and head of U.S. Marketing Priscilla Brown spoke for a few minutes before Dee came back, announced the goal of raising $500,000 this weekend and lightened things up by turning over the mike to Dan Beaver, a golf trick shot artist. He used famed Dolphins wide receiver Mark Duper as a volunteer on stage.

Beaver got the audience fired up befire asking Duper to lay on his back with a board placed on his chest at an incline to simulate a downhill lie. Then he had Duper roll over on his belly, face the crowd and placed the board on his back to simulate an uphill lie. Beaver made sure to not hit Dolphins owner Stephen Ross. There were plenty of laughs.
