Phillip and his older brother Dawayne are working diligently on forming the Carl Brashear Foundation. The initial goal of this organization is to display Carl's amazing legacy in a few of the nation's most prominent museums. The Nauticus Maritime Center in Norfolk, Va. was the first to honor this true American hero. Other museums of interest are the Smithsonian and Navy Museums in the Washington D.C. area and the Great Blacks in Wax in Baltimore, Md. In conjunction with the museum displays, contributions will also be made in his name to various Veteran Administration Hospitals throughout the country as well as other charitable groups directed towards children and young adults. We would also invite the opportunity to sponsor educational scholarships in Carl Brashear's name. With the help of charitable contributions towards this cause, many will be able to continually be inspired by the determination against all odds that Master Chief Master Diver Carl M. Brashear exhibited during his life.
With God's love upon us, no dream is impossible!
