One last look back at the 2009 season for the Miami Dolphins will take place tonight at The Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort & Club in Aventura.
The FinsWeekend Kickoff Pairings Party and Team Awards Ceremony Presented by Sun Life Financial marks the beginning of three days of fun and sun, all for the good causes supported by the Miami Dolphins Foundation. It's a chance to honor three players from last season, and the orgnaization also will make a special alumni announcement.
All three awards bear the names of legendary Miami Dolphins, starting with the Don Shula Leadership Award, which will be presented to the player who best exemplified all of the leadership qualities necessary to succeed on the field and in the locker room.
The Dan Marino Most Valuable Player Award, which was shared last year by quarterback Chad Pennington and linebacker Joey Porter after the 2008 season, is rather self-explanatory.
Finally, there is the Nat Moore Community Service Award, which goes to the player or players that contributed the most to the team's community relations efforts during the season and throughout the offseason.
The other part of tonight's program deals with the pairings for tomorrow's Miami Dolphins Foundation Golf Tournament Presented by Hublot, which will tee off early in the morning at The Fairmont Turnberry Isle Resort & Club.
After the conclusion of the golf tournament, the action shifts down to the Miami Beach Marina for the Miami Dolphins Foundation Hook & Tackle Captain's Party inside a tent set up near Monty's Restaurant. A silent auction designed to raise more money for the foundation also will take place inside the tent tomorrow night.
Finally, the weekend concludes Saturday with the Miami Dolphins Foundation Fishing Tournament Presented by eDiets.com, also at the Miami Beach Marina. More than 40 Miami Dolphins players, coaches and alumni are scheduled to join other participants for a day of offshore fishing, with lines going in the water bright and early, and then they will return to the marina for the official weigh-in to see which boat did the best.
Keep your computers logged in to MiamiDolphins.com for comprehensive coverage over all three days, and I will be live blogging from tonight's dinner and awards ceremony capturing the reactions of the award winners.
