Two Sons. One Town. Endless Possibilities...

                                           

Amare Sanders and Ben Hanks Jr. are true reflections of what it means to grow up in the heart of Overtown — where community, family, and brotherhood shape the foundation for greatness. From childhood days spent on neighborhood fields and courts, both young men thrived in youth sports — Ben shining in baseball and football, and Amare excelling in basketball and football. Their journeys mirror the strength and unity they witnessed in their fathers, lifelong friends who also grew up in this same beloved community.

                                               

With the unwavering support of their families and the deep bonds built through Overtown’s village of care, Amare and Ben have grown into leaders who carry forward the spirit of togetherness and perseverance that defines their roots. It’s no wonder that this Give Miami Day, they’ve chosen to come together once again — this time, to give back to the organization that has poured into them for so many years. Their commitment is a powerful reminder that when a community invests in its youth, it plants the seeds for generations of excellence, purpose, and hope.
