Noa Garcia’s Impact on the Shake-A-Leg Miami Community

How mentor Noa Garcia turned passion into action, raising $3,900 and strengthening inclusive recreation at Shake-A-Leg Miami.

At Shake-A-Leg Miami, our community is powered by people who lead with heart, dedication, and a strong belief in inclusion.  Noa Garcia is a shining example of just that! As a mentor at Shake-A-Leg, Noa plays an integral role in supporting and uplifting our participants, creating meaningful connections both on and off the water. This Give Miami Day, her commitment went even further when she raised an incredible $3900 in support of our mission! Through her passion, leadership, and generosity, Noa continues to make a lasting impact on our community, and we are thrilled to highlight and celebrate her incredible efforts.

Noa Garcia first came to Shake-A-Leg roughly a year and a half ago, and she immediately fell in love with the programs and the mission behind us. She quickly became integrated, attending every weekend for our infamous We Can Sail program. She also mentored over the summer at our Adventure Island summer camp.

“I began weekend sail, and it became the highlight of my week!” Noa says in an interview, referring to her weekend trips to Shake-A-Leg to participate in our We Can Sail program.

“I wanted to be able to, you know, give back to this organization that’s given us so much.” Noa says. Give back, she did!

Noa raised a total of $3900 to help us fuel our mission. She isn’t just a mentor, she’s a catalyst for community, compassion, and change. Noa’s passion, generosity, and dedication embody the very spirit of Shake-A-Leg Miami. Through her role as mentor and her remarkable efforts on Give Miami Day, she has helped strengthen our community and expand access to inclusive programming for so many individuals and families. The $3900 she raised goes directly towards fueling experiences that empower, inspire, and create lasting memories on the water. We are incredibly grateful for Noa’s leadership and heart, and we are proud to celebrate the difference she continues to make.
