One student athlete will be selected per week during the 17-week celebration of young athletes.
Nicklaus Children’s Hospital, in collaboration with Miami Dolphins Radio Network, is recognizing exceptional high school athletes from Miami-Dade and Broward counties this football season. Parents, coaches, principals, and athletic directors are encouraged to nominate a high school athlete who has demonstrated outstanding sportsmanship, academic excellence, and athletic ability throughout the year.
Selected winners are being featured on iHeartMedia Miami stations Y100 and 103.5 The Beat.
Miami Dolphins Radio Network will choose one student athlete per week during the 17-week celebration of young athletes, which launched in September.
Each student “athlete of the week” winner will receive a $150 gift card, be recognized on Miami Dolphins Radio Network, and will be eligible for a “Student Athlete of the Year” scholarship to the college or the university of their choice.
“We are excited to once again join the Miami Dolphins Radio Network in recognizing exceptional young athletes in South Florida,” said Matthew A. Love, president and CEO of Nicklaus Children’s Health System, parent organization of the hospital. “As the leading pediatric hospital in South Florida, we are dedicated to ensuring that the student athletes and their families have access to the best possible care to support their athletic careers.”
