Over his remarkable 17-year career with the Dolphins, he led the team to the Super Bowl in 1985 and played in 18 playoff games. Marino, inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2005, holds a spot on the NFL’s Top 100 Greatest Players list. He won the Dolphins' Community Service Award twice and was named the NFL Man of the Year in 1998.
Marino currently serves as an Executive Advisor to the Owner and CEO of the Miami Dolphins. He founded the Dan Marino Foundation in 1992, which has raised over $90 million for various initiatives, including the Marino Autism Research Institute and the Marino Campus, providing inclusive education and support for young adults seeking independence.
Belichick has helped produce eight Super Bowl titles since entering the NFL in 1975. He won his first two Super Bowls as defensive coordinator for the New York Giants in 1986 and 1990 before claiming six Super Bowl championships with the Patriots. Belichick launched his coaching career in 1975 with the Baltimore Colts and continued as an assistant coach with Detroit (1976-77), Denver (1978) and the New York Giants (1979-1990). Belichick was named head coach of the Cleveland Browns in 1991, becoming the youngest head coach in the NFL at the time at age 38. By 1994, Belichick brought the Browns back to the playoffs, finishing 11-5 and advancing to the second round of the playoffs, while allowing a league-low 204 total points. In 1996, Belichick joined New England and was a key contributor to the Patriots first division title in 10 years en route to the Patriots appearance in Super Bowl XXXI. Belichick then spent three seasons with the New York Jets from 1997 to 1999, helping New York improve from a 1-15 season in 1996 to an appearance in the AFC Championship Game in 1998.
Throughout his career, Coach Belichick has been active in a wide array of charitable endeavors in New England, New York, Cleveland and beyond. Coach Belichick has been involved in the establishment of scholarship programs in New England, Maryland and Ohio. In 2013, he launched the Bill Belichick Foundation, a nonprofit organization created to provide coaching, mentorship and financial assistance to individuals, communities and organizations with a focus on the sports of football and lacrosse. The foundation has seen results of its work all over the globe. The program "Fields of Growth" was awarded a grant in 2014 via the foundation to build a lacrosse field in Uganda, and the group decided to name it in honor of the coach. Belichick has also supported and participated in events to aid Wesleyan University, his alma mater, which established a full, four-year scholarship for incoming students named the Belichick Scholarship. Additionally, he has presented the Steve Belichick Award in conjunction with the Annapolis Touchdown Club. The award, presented in the name of Coach Belichick's late father, a longtime Naval Academy assistant coach, honors an Annapolis resident deeply involved in sports without seeking a spotlight for their achievements.
