Maverick's Legacy Saves 8 Lives, Donates Over 1,500 Airway Clearance Devices to Schools and First Responders

BRANCHVILLE, NJ, UNITED STATES, May 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Maverick’s Legacy proudly celebrates its 8th life saved through its efforts. A police department in Passaic County, NJ, recently used a LifeVac^® airway clearance device—donated by Maverick’s Legacy—to successfully save a choking victim when standard protocols failed.

This marks the fifth police department equipped by Maverick’s Legacy to use the device in a real-life choking rescue. Maverick's Legacy has donated over 1,500 devices, valued at more than $100,000, focusing on schools and first responders.

In addition to providing the devices, the nonprofit conducts live demonstrations, teaching personnel how to use LifeVac^® alongside traditional choking response methods, giving them the skills and confidence to act in those critical moments.

Representatives from law enforcement have expressed deep appreciation for the donations, recognizing the devices as essential tools for protecting their communities.

Choking claims the lives of over 5,000 people in the U.S. each year, with thousands more suffering permanent injury. Maverick’s Legacy is dedicated to lowering these numbers through education, spreading awareness, and distributing airway clearance devices.
