Miami Platoon

Event overview

Join us for an inspiring day of community service as the dedicated members of the Miami Platoon partner with Shake a Leg Miami to breathe new life into their shipyard! Together, we'll roll up our sleeves and tackle a range of important projects aimed at enhancing the beauty and functionality of this invaluable community space. Activities for the day will include: Bench Restoration: We'll work hand-in-hand to restore weathered benches, giving them a fresh, vibrant look and ensuring they provide comfortable seating for years to come. Ship Painting: Let your creativity flow as we bring a burst of color and life to the ships at Shake a Leg Miami. Your artistic touch will not only beautify the vessels but also serve as a symbol of hope and vitality for all who visit. Shipyard Clearing: Together, we'll clear the shipyard's back area, creating a clean and organized space that will enable Shake a Leg Miami to better serve their community and fulfill their mission. This event promises to be a day filled with camaraderie, teamwork, and the satisfaction of knowing you've made a tangible difference in the lives of those who rely on Shake a Leg Miami's resources and support. Don't miss this opportunity to be a part of something truly meaningful. Remember, every pair of hands makes a world of difference. See you there!

Who We Are

In 2025, Travis Manion Foundation (TMF) acquired The Mission Continues, bringing two best-in-class organizations together to provide more opportunities for veterans to find community, lead, and serve. Guided by the ethos “If Not Me, Then Who…,” veterans continue their service, build connections, and thrive in their post-military lives by serving as character role models to youth. As a result, communities prosper and the character of our nation’s heroes lives on in the next generation. Learn more about TMF at travismanion.org

Who should volunteer?

Our service projects are for all veterans with a desire to continue their service and for all non-veterans that want to be part of a nationwide movement to transform communities. Please note, age and accessibility accommodations can be made at any project. There is room for everyone to make an impact.
