THE 5000 ROLE MODELS OF EXCELLENCE PROGRAM IN PARTNERSHIP WITH DUVAL COUNTY PUBLIC SCHOOLS ALLOWS US TO ADOPT A LOCAL MIDDLE SCHOOL (DUPONT MIDDLE SCHOOL) TO DIRECTLY IMPACT THEIR SCHOOL, STUDENTS AND TEACHERS THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THIS IS DONE IN A VARIETY OF WAYS FROM TEACHER RECOGNITIONS/MEALS, SCHOOL CLEAN-UP PROJECTS, AND INTERACTIONS WITH THE STUDENTS TO TALK ABOUT SPORTS BUSINESS.

THIS YEAR WE WERE ALSO ABLE TO BRING BACK THE TAXSLAYER GATOR BOWL DREAM TEAM AFTER A COUPLE YEAR'S OFF DUE TO THE PANDEMIC.
