We were notified of our 8th LIFE SAVED thanks to our efforts !! (April 2025)
Awards
NJ 5th District “Hometown Heroes” Award
We were invited to the NJ Fifth District “Hometown Heroes” Awards hosted by Rep Josh Gottheimer on Friday, December 15, 2023. We accepted the award in tribute to Maverick, as The Chambers Family.
It was an honor to receive the award for the work we have done to raise awareness for choking hazards and rescue options. Our role in saving a local boy's life was highlighted; his parents had purchased a LifeVac after hearing Maverick's story and were able to use it to save him after back blows failed to clear his airway in June 2023.
We sincerely hope this is just the beginning of Maverick's Legacy and encourage everyone to be more prepared in case of a choking emergency. Our goal is for every first responder to have access to these lifesaving tools.
Together we can save a life!

United States Army Futures Command Care Award
Maverick's mom, Kim Chambers, was recognized by the United States Army Futures Command with the Command Care Award. This award was in recognition "for exceptional support to her community through dedicated and selfless service."
To receive this recognition was a wonderful experience. We are honored to continue to raise awareness of choking rescue options and to serve our community while building our son's legacy.
