Brannan wins Brotherhood Award from P.S.-I.S. 104
Justin Brannan was a professional musician for more than a decade, touring the world with his rock bands Indecision and Most Precious Blood. When he decided to come home to Bay Ridge, the neighborhood he grew up in, and settle down with his wife Leigh Holliday Brannan, he also made another key decision.
“I decided to get involved in my community,” he recalled.
Brannan joined the Bay Ridge Ambulance Volunteer Organization (BRAVO) and served on its board of directors for a number of years. He founded Bay Ridge Cares, a nonprofit organization that cooked and delivered more than 25,000 hot meals to Superstorm Sandy victims and emergency responders in the aftermath of the hurricane. Brannan is also politically active, serving as a leader of the Bay Ridge Democrats, a political club he helped organize.
On Feb. 11, Brannan, who currently works as a special assistant to City Schools Chancellor Carmen Fariña, was honored for his community-minded activities by the PTA of P.S./I.S. 104 in Bay Ridge, which presented him with its annual International Brotherhood Award.
