Dolphins’ Alec Ingold Launches Gifts in Gold Campaign to Help Youth Foster Care and Adoption

The Pro Bowl player helped the team to its first win of the season on Sunday.

Miami Dolphins fullback Alec Ingold and his Ingold Family Foundation have launched the “Gifts In Gold” in-season campaign, presented by Weston Jewelers, to support the fundraising efforts for the SOS Children’s Villages Florida playground campaign. Ingold revealed the initiative during a recent announcement on iHeart radio. Through this campaign, for every 30 yards that Ingold and the Miami Dolphins record per game, $100 will be donated to the SOS Children’s Villages playground campaign.

The Dolphins won their first game of the season yesterday, defeating the Jacksonville Jaguars 20-17. The team totaled 419 yards of offense, raising nearly $1,400 in one game.

“I am excited for the Gifts in Gold campaign and how the Ingold Family Foundation will make a difference in the lives of kids in the foster and adoption communities,” says Ingold. “It’s a cause close to my heart.” 

SOS Children’s Villages Florida is constructing a new playground because their old one had become unsafe for children. Playgrounds should be a secure environment where children can enjoy themselves and build friendships. The new playground will cater to children of all ages and abilities.

SOS Children’s Villages in Florida provides nurturing homes for children and young people who lack proper parental care, currently accommodating up to 72 foster children ranging from newborns to 18 years old. They prioritize keeping biological siblings together and offer the NEXT STEPS program for young adults who have aged out of foster care, including individual life coaches, affordable housing support, employment assistance, financial management, and education to help them lead successful lives. Ingold is dedicated to supporting children in foster care and the adoption community due to his personal experience of being adopted at birth and understanding the significance of foster and adoptive parents in shaping successful lives for children in the adoption community.

Weston Jewelers, situated at the Weston Town Center and the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, caught wind of Alec’s fundraising efforts for the SOS playground and eagerly joined forces to support the cause. Ed and Tracey Dikes, the proprietors of Weston Jewelers, were deeply moved by Ingold’s dedication to helping children in the foster care system and the adoption community, prompting them to lend their support.

BIOGRAPHY

Drew Limsky joined Lifestyle Media Group in August 2020 as Editor-in-Chief of South Florida Business & Wealth. His first issue of SFBW, October 2020, heralded a reimagined structure, with new content categories and a slew of fresh visual themes. “As sort of a cross between Forbes and Robb Report, with a dash of GQ and Vogue,” Limsky says, “SFBW reflects South Florida’s increasingly sophisticated and dynamic business and cultural landscape.”

Limsky, an avid traveler, swimmer and film buff who holds a law degree and Ph.D. from New York University, likes to say, “I’m a doctor, but I can’t operate—except on your brand.” He wrote his dissertation on the nonfiction work of Joan Didion. Prior to that, Limsky received his B.A. in English, summa cum laude, from Emory University and earned his M.A. in literature at American University in connection with a Masters Scholar Award fellowship.

Limsky came to SFBW at the apex of a storied career in journalism and publishing that includes six previous lead editorial roles, including for some of the world’s best-known brands. He served as global editor-in-chief of Lexus magazine, founding editor-in-chief of custom lifestyle magazines for Cadillac and Holland America Line, and was the founding editor-in-chief of Modern Luxury Interiors South Florida. He also was the executive editor for B2B magazines for Acura and Honda Financial Services, and he served as travel editor for Conde Nast. Magazines under Limsky’s editorship have garnered more than 75 industry awards.

He has also written for many of the country’s top newspapers and magazines, including The New York Times, Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, Miami Herald, Boston Globe, USA Today, Worth, Robb Report, Afar, Time Out New York, National Geographic Traveler, Men’s Journal, Ritz-Carlton, Elite Traveler, Florida Design, Metropolis and Architectural Digest Mexico. His other clients have included Four Seasons, Acqualina Resort & Residences, Yahoo!, American Airlines, Wynn, Douglas Elliman and Corcoran. As an adjunct assistant professor, Limsky has taught journalism, film and creative writing at the City University of New York, Pace University, American University and other colleges.
