“The Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino and its team members were pleased to be the host of The Summer Groove. We know we played a role in helping Alonzo Mourning Charities and Wade’s World Foundation have a successful weekend and better serve our community,” said Phil Madow, President of the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino. “Alonzo and Dwyane are great partners in our community and we enjoyed being their host and partner for the Summer Groove.”

Original founder of ZSG, Mourning has kept his largest fundraising event strong and exciting for 13 consecutive years. This was Wade’s second year teaming up with Mourning to host ZSG, and the dynamic duo will continue to do so for years to come. “We appreciate the love and support of all of fans and friends from throughout South Florida who joined us this week,” said Mourning. “Your dedication and participation go a long way in helping us make a great impact in the youth we serve in the community and the programs we support,” adds Wade.
