Amidst the high-stakes contract negotiations, endorsement deals, and pressures of professional sports where athletes are often bogged down, it?s rare for a superstar to pause their busy lives to connect with the adoring fans who follow them. But in 2014, Dwyane Wade, the iconic Miami Heat star did the same. In the chaos of his journey, Wade took an emotional detour to Western High in Davie, teaching them all a timeless lesson in ?allergic to no.?

A movement that brought Dwyane Wade to graduation

The incredible journey back began with the innocuous hashtag, #WadetoWestern. That?s exactly what happened when Negeen Fallahzadeh, a feisty senior at Western High School, started this petition drive back in 2014 with a very personal goal she wanted Dwyane Wade to show up and speak at her school. The idea was that his attendance would be an unforgettable moment, but also inspire her classmates.

Negeen’s recent Instagram story actions did not go unnoticed. A hashtag took over and spread among students and the wider community. It was an homage to the power of social media and the immense respect from fans towards D-Wade.

After weeks of buildup and students? unwavering commitment, the moment arrived. ?DWYANE WADE WE ARE HERE!? that phrase has a special meaning for Negeen and her classmates, who watched the NBA star play at American Airlines Arena and knew him as a tenacious competitor on the basketball court but also as the sun set behind the skyline that day, the Western High graduates stood beneath the starlit night, unaware that an incredible event was about to happen.
