Deaf Florida, Inc. is a Deaf-led 501(c)(3) nonprofit that brings Florida’s Deaf, hard of hearing, DeafBlind, late-deafened, and signing community together through culture, community, and access. Our flagship program, ASL Sports Night, has teamed up with the Orlando Magic, Miami Heat, Florida Panthers, Inter Miami CF, Tampa Bay Rays, Orlando City SC, and Orlando Solar Bears.

No! Everyone is welcome, whether you’re fluent, just learning, or don’t sign at all. Our events are a great way to meet the community and pick up a few signs along the way.

Yes. Hearing family, friends, coworkers, ASL students, and fans are all welcome. When the Deaf and hearing worlds come together, everyone wins.

ASL Sports Night brings the Deaf community together at professional sports games. Each night features a Deaf performer signing the National Anthem in ASL alongside a hearing vocalist, full-screen ASL on the video board, qualified volunteer interpreters, and a section where the community sits together. Check our Events page for upcoming games.

ASL is the main language at our events, and we work with the Florida Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (FRID) to provide qualified interpreters. If you need other access, like tactile interpreting or captioning, just let us know through our Contact page and we’ll work with you.
