The Brighton Auxiliary Rescue Unit was thrilled to receive $4300 in grant funding towards necessary safety and rescue equipment from the Brian Todd Memorial Community Fund on August 9, 2022.
The generous donation of Brian Todd Memorial Community Foundation to Brighton Auxiliary Rescue Unit provided for new immersion suits to protect our crew from the elements due to cold weather and potential person-overboard situations, a distress emergency strobe light and search and rescue electronics to help improve rescue capabilities.
