DESTINATION DONATION
Whet Foundation Destination Donation initiative strives to positively affect deserving children in the destinations in which the clients of Whet Travel visit, providing essential items to underprivileged children. Each Groove Cruise, the Whet Foundation organizes a Destination Donation trip to visit underprivileged children in underprivileged areas aiming to make a tangible difference in each and every one of their lives. Captains (Groove Cruise Attendees) are asked to bring essential items to donate such as school supplies, clothing, and other items generally for orphanages, schools, or a local charity. Many of the volunteers rate their Whet Foundation Destination Donation experience as the highlight of their cruise. Keep an eye out for additional information about the organization that the Whet Foundation will support in Labadee, Haiti for Groove Cruise Miami 2025, and discover how you can register to create a lasting impact!

CELEBRATION OF LIFE
Celebration of Life will be hosted to celebrate our loved ones no longer with us. The celebration consist of a biodegradable wreath and biodegradable note cards, where participants have the opportunity to share their story, write a message to their loved ones and put their message in the wreath to be thrown overboard. In many cultures the ocean is one of the primary factors that made life possible on earth. Sending off the departed into the ocean symbolizes the end of physical life and the beginning of spiritual rebirth.

With the written notes to loved ones, this allows all present to participate and share in this moving experience. It symbolizes a farewell and an opportunity for closure and healing.

We will provide further information regarding the timing of the Celebration of Life event as we approach the sailing date.
