About Dan Marino
Mr. Marino was a first-round draft pick by the Miami Dolphins in 1983. He became an instant NFL sensation and was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Player in his second season. The nine-time Pro Bowler led the Dolphins to the Super Bowl in 1985 against San Francisco.
Holder of 25 NFL regular-season quarterback records, Mr. Marino quarterbacked Miami for 17 years, and positioned the Dolphins as perennial championship contenders.

Football is a passion of Mr. Marino’s, but his family comes first. When their son, Michael, was diagnosed with autism, he and his wife, Claire were able to provide the best treatments available and wanted to help all families have access to services. In 1992, they founded the Dan Marino Foundation which has raised more than $84 million over 29 years to assist these families.
