Miami Gardens, Fla – The Miami Dolphins and Truist Financial Corporation (NYSE: TFC) today announced a multi-year extension of their existing partnership. As the Official Retail Bank of the Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium, Truist will work with the team to increase financial literacy services to underserved communities and present Football UNITES CommUNITY tailgates and Huddle for the Holidays.
Football UNITES CommUNITY tailgates are an opportunity for youth from different Football UNITES groups to unite in a fun atmosphere and then enjoy a Miami Dolphins home game. These tailgates are designed to improve relationships, foster understanding, and experience the South Florida culture by bringing together diverse community groups at all Dolphins home games. Focusing on humanity and intersectionality, participating groups will partake in activities designed to break down barriers and build relationships.

They have been an amazing partner that aims to inspire and build better lives and communities," said Jeremy Walls, Senior Vice President, Chief Revenue Officer of Miami Dolphins and Hard Rock Stadium.
