About Us

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. Talks have already begun with the Great Blacks in Wax Museum located in Baltimore, Maryland. Other museums of interest are the Smithsonian Museum and the Navy Museums in the Washington D.C. area. With Carl's legacy cemented in southeast Virginia, the Hampton Roads Museum located inside the Nauticus Maritime Center in downtown Norfolk, Va. is definitely a prime location for admirers to view one of their local heroes. 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.

Thank you for your interest and take care.
