The Miami Touchdown Club was founded in 1959 by a group of local community leaders with a strong interest in supporting all aspects of football in Dade County, Florida.  Long-established relationships exist with our local public and private high schools, the University of Miami, the Miami Dolphins and Florida International University.  Club events include dinner meetings featuring well-known speakers, members-only invitations to closed college football practices, UM/FIU incoming freshman dinners, Dolphin outings, and the annual UM football awards banquet.

One of the primary functions of the Club is to assist local high school coaches in promoting their athletes to colleges in their efforts and securing scholarships, thus allowing these student athletes to continue their education while playing football at the next level.  This program, Operation Scholarship, has evolved from a printed statistical book, mailed to over 300 college coaches, to the current, secure, interactive internet platform, now available to over 1200 colleges at all levels.  This platform also enables college coaches to search for that "special" player.

In 2005, a 501 (c) (3) Charitable Foundation was formed: The South Florida Touchdown Club Foundation, Inc. d/b/a/ The Miami Touchdown Club.  Membership was opened to all individuals and corporations interested in supporting and promoting football in South Florida.  As a charitable foundation, the Foundation is able to solicit tax-deductible donations, sponsorships and endowments, allowing it to make donations to worthy South Florida charities.
