There was a ring toss game, prizes were bottles of wine or rum and a Lock Box game allowed people to purchas keys to a box that contained two American Airlines tickets to anywhere in the US. $5000 was raised in scholarship money to send underserved children to Shake-A-Leg's summer camp this year. All other proceeds went to help Shake-A-Leg Miami's
programs with the disabled, veterans and water recreation for all.
