🐬🧡💚 DOLPHINS FANS — THIS IS WHAT COMMUNITY IS ALL ABOUT!
We wanted to take a moment to recognize some incredible members of the Dolphins community who came together to make something special happen for a mother and her young son.
What started with a simple Instagram connection between our nonprofit, Dads Figure It Out (DFIO) Foundation, and Sammy Sakioka of SKNE Consulting Group turned into something much bigger.
Sammy reached out from Arizona about a mother and son in New Jersey who could use a special experience.
Our goal? Help them attend their first NFL game together — Dolphins vs. Jets at MetLife Stadium this Sunday! 🏈
We reached out to the Dolphins fan community, and the response reminded us why this fanbase is so special.
🐬 Carmelo “Mel” Sereno suggested connecting with Dolfans NYC.
🐬 Danny Johnson stepped in and tagged someone who could help.
🐬 Nate Igor Smith of Dolfans NYC responded with four simple words:
“Yup. We got you.”
Just like that, TWO game tickets were gifted for this mother and son! 🙌
And the generosity didn’t stop there. Another Dolphins fan is gifting this young boy a Dan Marino jersey!
Different people. Different states. One Dolphins community coming together for a family most have never even met.
THIS is what being a Dolphins fan is all about. 🧡💚
On behalf of DFIO Foundation, THANK YOU to Sammy, Carmelo, Danny, Nate, Dolfans NYC, and everyone who helped share, connect, and make this possible.
We’re proud to bring our Game Day Experience program to the New York/New Jersey area for the very first time!
🎥 Watch how this incredible story unfolded.

Through DFIO’s Game Day Experience program, your tickets can create an experience that reaches far beyond the final score.
Turn empty seats into meaningful experiences.

A milestone for DFIO’s Game Day Experience program. 🇺🇸🏒
This Sunday, two Veterans will experience a Tampa Bay Lightning game through our first Veteran-focused GDEs!
These experiences are being coordinated through our newly formed partnerships with Florida Veterans Coalition and Club-214 Land & Sea—two organizations helping us connect with Veterans who can benefit from a memorable day away and the opportunity to simply enjoy the experience.
This is exactly why we continue expanding the Game Day Experience program: different people, different circumstances, one opportunity to create a lasting memory through sports.
We’re grateful to both organizations for trusting DFIO as we begin serving more Veterans through GDEs.
⚡ Go Bolts!

“This raises our spirits a lot. It’s nice to get at least a few hours with no worries.”
These words from one of our Game Day Experience families capture why this program is about so much more than attending a game.
For someone navigating challenging circumstances, a few hours away can provide relief, connection, renewed spirits and memories that last far beyond the final score.
We’re grateful to the Tampa Bay Rays and Touchdown Pass Foundation for helping make this experience possible. When community supporters come together, tickets become more than seats, they become an opportunity for people to breathe, reconnect and simply enjoy the moment.
This is more than a game. This is the heart of the Game Day Experience.
