Organizations We Support With Our Major Events

This is a fantastic organization that works with socially, mentally, and physically handicapped children in a marine environment, utilizing the ocean and waterways to teach environmental lessons, therapeutic sailing and swimming, with specially outfitted vessels to allow the physically handicapped access to the water. In Dade County they cater to over 3000 kids and young adults per year. They want to start replicating their unique and highly successful programs here in Palm Beach County by this summer. We recommend that you visit their website for more information - www.shakealegmiami.org. Our contact person is Harry Horgan – Director.

The watchdogs of our coral reefs and coastal environment in southeast Florida. Formed by a group of Palm Beach County divers in 2003, their ranks now include divers and non-divers alike. Southeast Florida’s reefs are threatened by a host of stressors from coastal development, agriculture runoff, ocean sewage disposal, siltation and pollution. By focusing on specific, manageable problems and backed by sound science Reef Rescue is making a difference. They have been successful in compelling the regulatory community to enforce the “Clean Water Act” and other environmental statutes designed to protect our fragile and vulnerable coral reef ecosystems.
