November has been an inspiring month here at Shake-A-Leg Miami, full of energy, connection, and purpose. From celebrating our Veterans’ May Day to getting ready for Holtz Children’s Family Day, we’ve seen the incredible ways our community comes together on and off the water. Each event reminds us why we do what we do: to create opportunities for everyone to experience freedom, joy, and empowerment through sailing and the sea.
As we move through this season of gratitude, I want to thank every one of you, our volunteers, families, sailors, and supporter for being part of this mission. You are the wind in our sails.
Now, as Give Miami Daybegins, we have another chance to make an impact together. Every gift, no matter the size, helps us keep programs like adaptive sailing, youth mentoring, and veterans’ activities going strong. Your support turns possibilities into realities for so many people who find hope and healing on Biscayne Bay.
Let’s make waves of change this week and show Miami what inclusion truly looks like.
It’s that exciting time of year again! Give Miami Day has officially begun, and early giving starts today, Saturday, November 15. From now until Thursday, November 20, you can help Shake-A-Leg Miami continue making a difference for children, adults, and veterans of all abilities who find freedom and joy on Biscayne Bay.
Give Miami Day is one of our community’s biggest moments of generosity. It’s a week when people across Miami come together to support the organizations that keep our city strong, connected, and full of hope.
Every gift to Shake-A-Leg Miami during Give Miami Day helps power our adaptive sailing programs, youth development initiatives, and inclusive community events. Your support keeps our boats sailing, our participants smiling, and our mission growing.
We invite you to join us, share our campaign with friends, and help us reach new horizons together. Every donation, no matter the size, helps create life-changing experiences on the water.
Make your gift today and be part of something truly special.
We are excited to welcome families and children from Holtz Children’s Hospital for a day full of joy, laughter, and adventure on the water. This annual gathering is one of the most heartwarming events of the year, giving children and their families a chance to connect, play, and experience the magic of sailing together.
We invite our community to join in the fun, volunteer, or simply cheer on the families as they enjoy this special day. Every smile makes the day unforgettable.
Veterans’ May Day – November 9
Earlier this month, we had the honor of celebrating our veterans during Veterans’ May Day. The event was a meaningful way to recognize their service while sharing the joy of sailing on Biscayne Bay. Participants enjoyed camaraderie, engaging activities, and the freedom that comes from being on the water. This celebration is part of how Shake-A-Leg Miami continues to honor Veterans Day (November 11), showing gratitude and support for those who have given so much.
