Bruce MacDonald, track coach at Schreiber High School for 57 years, and former three-time Olympian in track, was rescued from his burning house Jan. 6. He sustained smoke inhalation injuries and has lost his house and all of his belongings.
Coach Mac, as he is known, has been a role model and icon for many in the Port Washington community and the track and field community.
“We are asking for everyone’s support to get Coach Mac back on his feet and into a new home,” said his step-daughter Karina King.
