As of November 2024 we have donated over 1,000 LifeVacs!

We demonstrated how to use LifeVacs to save lives in a choking emergency to the Sussex County Sheriff's Department. We worked with them to provide enough devices for each response vehicle and med kit used by their team throughout the county. 

We are grateful for the opportunity to provide lifesaving tools to first responders in memory of Maverick. 

Thank you to Sheriff for allowing us to teach his officers and better prepare them for a choking emergency when protocols do not work to clear an airway. It is important to give our first responders every tool possible to aid in an emergency!

We donated over 60 LifeVacs to 6 First Responders organizations and 4 Schools.

One for each coach bag for Rec and Travel teams.
We are happy to provide life-saving airway clearance devices to the players, their siblings on the sidelines, and each family visiting the fields where our teams are playing. We hope they are never needed, but are glad to help other families avoid tragedy in a choking emergency. 

 Our hope is they never need to use it, but are grateful to be able to provide them one in case of emergency.  

 We met with representatives of the police departments in Wharton, Randolph, Netcong, Mountain Lakes, Town of Boonton, Hanover Township, Riverdale, and the Wharton Fire Department / OEM. We donated enough devices so each of their respective emergency vehicles had one!

Together we can save a life! 

This ensures there are enough devices to equip each patrol vehicle, as well as a replacement device in case one is used. We are happy to have provided another community with a secondary rescue option in instances where current choking protocols fail to clear an airway blockage.

The residents at care facilities, such as Bentley, are at a higher risk for choking injuries or death. Sometimes current choking protocols aren't possible to use because of physical limitations. In these circumstances, an airway clearance device could be the only option to save someone in a choking emergency.

We hope that our efforts to educate our surrounding communities on choking prevention and by providing these devices to First Responders and Schools, we will grow our son's legacy and allow Maverick to leave his mark upon this world. 

Together we can save a life!

We were warmly welcomed by the Sparta School District and provided them with 20 LifeVacs, enough to supply each of their 5 schools with 4 devices.  We are grateful for the opportunity to keep these kids a little bit safer.

 We had the pleasure of meeting some of the students and the nurse at Northern Hills Academy, a special education school in Sparta, NJ. We donated 2 LifeVacs to the school, and although we hope they are never needed, we are grateful to have supplied them another rescue option in a choking emergency.

 Tonight we met with the Colesville Fire Department, Beemerville Fire Department, and the Wantage Township First Aid Squad to donate a total of 11 LifeVacs across the 3 departments. As first responders, they deserve the tools that will help them to save lives, and we hope that our donation will fulfill a need in their toolkits.

It is a great comfort to bring the lifesaving tool to the families of Newton. Every donation to our cause increases the size of Maverick's footprint.
