Whet Foundation prioritizes Mental health awareness, offering uplifting sessions for those in the music industry. Celebration of Life is where loved ones no longer with us are celebrated and participants have the opportunity to share their story. The Community Captains program identifies student leaders, fostering personal development and entrepreneurial spirit. Lastly, Whet Foundation is dedicated to ocean conservation, organizing immersive events to raise awareness and support research efforts.

VISIT WHET FOUNDATIONThank you to everyone who supported the GC Miami 2025 "Cruisin' For Kindness" Undiscovered DJ Contest – Phase 2! Thanks to your generosity, families along the East Coast are receiving the aid they need through the Whet Foundation Hurricane Relief Fund. Your donations, votes, and contributions not only helped elevate emerging talent but also provided much-needed relief to communities impacted by recent hurricanes.
The Groove Cruise Miami 2025 Whet Foundation Destination Donation initiative will support malnourished children and families through Second Mile Haiti, which focuses on reducing childhood malnutrition and improving health for women and children in Haiti. With a caregiver-centered approach, Second Mile Haiti addresses health and nutritional needs, offering education, training, and income-generating activities. Haiti has the highest maternal, infant, and child mortality rates in the Western Hemisphere, with 45% of the population facing severe food insecurity. Tragically, 1 in 10 Haitian children dies before age 5, and over 70% of parents seeking help at the Malnutrition Treatment Center have no income when their child falls ill.
Contributions directly empower Second Mile Haiti to provide life-saving nutritional support and educate caregivers, preventing relapses and fostering sustainable change.
We are asking the #GCFAM to help us collect the requested donations for Second Mile Haiti. All donations can be brought to the Captain Support Desk on the first day of Groove Cruise Miami 2025.
Monetary donations can be made here

SIGN UP HERE TO VOLUNTEERCelebration 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.
