history of shake-A-Leg miami disabled sailing & at-risk youth center
Shake-A-Leg Miami The old adage "build it and they will come," is a well-echoed sentiment; at Shake-A-Leg Miami, it is a testament to will and ambition on a grand scale. Our beautiful facility, the Shake-A-Leg Miami Aquatic Center and Marine Academy, has been built, and the people are coming! Every day, we set sail to build friendships, instill confidence, teach skills, and provide hope and new opportunities. To witness a child who has never before been in a boat, get into a Shake-A-Leg boat, and become an active participant of the crew, is a sight that is a supreme delight! For over fifteen years, we have seen this sight countless times over, and it is still a thrill. Shake-A-Leg Miami helps children and adults with physical, developmental and economic challenges; liberating them from the realm of imagination into the realm of experience. We have successfully created an inspirational haven, where people of all backgrounds and abilities find common ground. Shake-A-Leg Miami is South Florida’s "Gateway to Biscayne Bay." Our continued partnership with the City of Miami, plus over 100 community organizations, both public and private, is the ultimate confirmation of the power of unity and collaboration. We are infinitely grateful for the dedicated work and contributions of our Board of Directors and advisors, donors, staff, and volunteers. Shake-A-Leg Miami is a unique and enlivened place where hope is alive, aspirations are enabled, and where dreams are launched every day.
Thank you and welcome! Harry R. Horgan Barth A. Green, M.D. President, The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis
