Members of our DPW, Recreation Department, Library, Township offices, and Berkeley Heights Public Schools also joined us for a demonstration and the opportunity to learn how to use these lifesaving devices.

Thank you, Darrin, for your family’s continued commitment to building Maverick’s legacy and helping save lives in his memory. Maverick is certainly leaving a lasting footprint in our community and beyond.
