Captain Wayne Brooks Jr Foundation

We honor the memory of a hero who lived a life of courage, compassion, and community service.

Wayne was not only a dedicated firefighter but also a sincere friend to many. He was loved by all and always made sure to be a positive influence in others lives

Yesterday, members of the Captain Wayne Brooks Jr. Foundation were honored to attend the Acabou & Brooks Fallen Heroes Fundraiser.
It was a beautiful afternoon filled with community, remembrance, and support for our firefighters and the families they serve. We are grateful to the Acabou family, Newark Fire Division, East Ward Community Center, sponsors, volunteers, and everyone who came together to make this event a success.
Events like these remind us that the legacy of our loved ones lives on through service, education, and community support.
Thank you for allowing us to be a part of such a meaningful day. ❤️🚒
