The Stay Woke event is supported by the Miami Dolphins, which selected The Trayvon Martin Foundation as a 2018-2019 Football Unites grant recipient.

Created in November 2017 by Owner Stephen Ross and Dolphins players, these grants provide funds for South Florida-based groups to strengthen and expand their impact around community engagement, education and justice reform.

Founded by Sybrina Fulton and Tracy Martin, parents of the late Trayvon Martin, the Trayvon Martin Foundation is a social justice organization committed to ending senseless gun violence. It was established to create awareness of how violent crime impacts the families of the victims, and to provide support and advocacy for those families in response to the murder of Trayvon Martin.
