释义 |
Bruce's Legacy is a Wisconsin-based non-profit which focuses on the recovery of drowning victims and spreading awareness of waterborne safety. It has been in operation since August 26th, 2013.[1] The organization is named after founder Keith Cormican's brother Bruce Cormican, a firefighter who died during a water rescue effort. HistoryBruce's Legacy was founded in 2013 after the founder, Keith Cormican, saw a need for more public awareness and assistance in waterborne recovery efforts. Cormican named the organization after his brother Bruce Cormican, a firefighter who could not be revived after drowning during a search and rescue effort.[2] Speaking to news anchors in 2017 after recovering a football player from Lake Tahoe, Cormican said he "was able to put this together about four years ago and wanted to honor my brother’s name and do the work that both of us had visions on and thought it would be a great legacy for him."[3] Cormican founded Bruce's Legacy with hardly any financial aid, using his out-of-pocket 65 thousand dollars to purchase a Hewescraft boat, side-scan sonar, and other gear he needed to make his endeavors successful.[4] References1. ^{{Cite web | url=https://www.wdfi.org/apps/CorpSearch/Details.aspx?entityID=B075904&hash=223724524&searchFunctionID=3d0a0fc9-4513-4c43-868f-8ab82968c760&type=Simple&q=Bruce%27s+Legacy | title=Bruce's Legacy, Inc.
