MIAMI — Former Miami Hurricanes star Jimmy Graham got to live out his dream of becoming an NFL player, and on Thursday night, he was honored at a South Florida school where students are overcoming tough challenges while chasing dreams of their own.
The annual Legacy Ceremony was held at SEED School of Miami, a tuition-free boarding school with a 24-hour learning environment.
Graham was recognized for his work helping guide students in future projects. The SEED School is now 12 years old and has a 100% college acceptance rate.
Graham, who overcame many challenges growing up, said he quickly recognized how special the school is.
Meanwhile, on Thursday, Local 10 News’ Clay Ferraro was at Miami Dade College’s North Campus for the first-ever Champions Gala.
The event honored middle school and lower school athletes with an awards show that had the feel of the Oscars.
Ferraro also delivered a speech to the athletes about the importance of youth sports in his life and the life of his family.
