On Saturday, October 26th, the Broward Education Foundation is proud to collaborate with the Miami Dolphins for the Jason Jenkins Day of Service. This event, held on the Hollywood Broadwalk, will bring together the Mentoring and Prevention Programs of Broward County Public Schools (BCPS) for a 5K Run/Walk and community service activities.

This event serves several important purposes:

  1. Raising Awareness: We aim to highlight the vital Mentoring Programs, such as 5000 Role Models of Excellence, Mentoring Tomorrow’s Leaders, and Student Athlete Mentoring, as well as the Prevention Initiatives which focus on substance and violence prevention.
  2. Honoring Jason Jenkins: This event will also celebrate the legacy of the late Jason Jenkins, who dedicated 14 years to serving the South Florida community through his work with the Miami Dolphins.
  3. Fundraising: Proceeds from the event will directly support the continued success of Mentoring and Substance and Violence Prevention Programs in our schools.
  4. Community Service: In addition to the 5K, participants are encouraged to bring canned goods and non-perishable food items for a food drive. Donations will be given to Harvest Drive.

 Jason Jenkins dedicated himself to serving the Miami Dolphins and South Florida community for 14 years. Beginning in 2015, Jenkins served as Senior Vice President of Communications and Community Affairs and oversaw the organization’s front-facing brands, including marketing, public relations, social media and community efforts for the Miami Dolphins, Hard Rock Stadium, Miami Open and Formula 1 Crypto.com Miami Grand Prix. During his tenure, he led the charge for various community initiatives including the Junior Dolphins youth football program, the Miami Dolphins Foundation Food Relief Program, the Miami Dolphins Football UNITES™ program and was an influential part of the Dolphins Challenge Cancer. Jenkins created community programming that served as a model for the NFL, most notably his social justice initiatives and Football UNITES™, whose mission is to unite groups of different races, genders, sexual orientations, identities, abilities, and faith around the power of football. Jenkins passed unexpectedly in August 2022, leaving behind an incomparable legacy of impact in South Florida. On the one-year anniversary of his passing in August 2023, the Miami Dolphins announced the Football UNITES™ Jason Jenkins Day of Service, to be held annually on his birthday to celebrate his life and carry on his impact.
