A big thank you to the Red Door Classic and to all their supporters and friends.

A special thank you to Tom and Rebecca Jelke for their continued support, and to the FIU Sig Ep chapter and the Sig Ep Alumni who came to The Miami Project with a donation from the tournament and their other charitable activities.

We were happy to give them a tour and show them what they have been supporting all these years. Thank you!!!

Last year, 9x NBA All-Star Dominique Wilkins joined us at the Great Sports Legends Dinner, where he was honored for his incredible impact both on and off the court.

During his acceptance speech, Dominique reminded us of the power of coming together to support those living with paralysis and other disabilities—and to continue pushing toward a future where everyone has the opportunity to live life to the fullest.

This year, we’re continuing that mission.

Join us on October 5th for the 41st Annual Great Sports Legends Dinner as we bring together legendary athletes, supporters, and friends of The Buoniconti Fund to raise critical funds for paralysis research.

“Resilience. Passion. Community. Commitment.”

Just a few of the kind words Olympic Speed Skater Apolo Ohno used when describing the heart of The Buonconti Fund at last year’s Annual Great Sports Legends Dinner.

As the nation’s biggest fundraising event in benefit of paralysis research, we look forward to hosting the next one this October.
