MINERS

in the community

dubuque’s team.

The Dubuque Miners were built to represent more than what happens on the football field.
As a nonprofit organization, we believe being part of this community comes with a responsibility to give back to it. Throughout the year, Miners players, coaches, staff, and volunteers work alongside local schools, youth programs, nonprofits, charities, and community organizations across Dubuque and the Tri-State area.

Whether we’re volunteering at community events, supporting local causes, connecting with young athletes, visiting schoools, or using our platform to bring attention to organizations doing important work, our goal is simple; leave a positive impact on the community that supports us.

Football gives us that platform.
Dubuque and the surrounding area gives us a purpose.
