MIAMI (CBSMiami) – The Miami Dolphins are teaming up with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Broward during Pride Month.
Football Unites is a community initiative that will help provide LGBTQ+ youth with mentorship resources and a safe space to explore issues regarding sexual orientation and gender identity.

"I think you are going to see more players stepping up and are not afraid to say, 'I'm standing here. I understand this community needs my support,'" said RaShauna Hamilton, the senior director for community relations and youth programs for the Miami Dolphins. "And I don't think you are going to see that just with Dolphins players. I think you are going to see that with professional sports in general."
