Shake-A-Leg Miami (SALM) has joined hands with volunteers from FedEx Cares, Mission Continues, Wellington Construction, and ACME Marine Construction to revitalize the local dock and bay walk. The project aims to enhance the area's appearance, accessibility, and safety for all visitors.

Shake-A-Leg Miami is providing therapeutic watersports and other activities to veterans, youth & adults with disabilities. The partnership between Shake-A-Leg Miami, FedEx, Mission Continues and Wellington Construction is an excellent example of how collaboration and volunteerism can benefit the environment and improve the lives of residents.
