The Florida Department of Education, 21st Century Community Learning Centers has supported Shake-A-Leg Miami Saturday and Summer programs for the past five years.

The program helps students meet state and local student standards in core academic subjects, such as reading and math; offers students a broad array of enrichment activities that can complement their regular academic programs; and offers literacy and other educational services to the families of participating children.

The 40’ Corinthian Catamaran, M/V John E. Pearson, is the legacy of the late Commodore John E. Pearson. Realizing the vision of a disabled captain, Graham Hooper, this extraordinary boat has been customized to allow adults and children with disabilities to realize their dreams. Donations to the John E Pearson Memorial Fund enable Shake-A-Leg to outfit and operate the first fully accessible boat of its kind. Donations of $5,000 or more enroll donors into the Commodores Club and continue to support the vessel as it touches the lives of so many people throughout our community.
