Eddie Bridges dedicated his life to the outdoors, wildlife and land conservation. He helped raise millions of dollars for those causes and for his university, Elon.
But that work was about the people, too.
âItâs about the thousands of people who are members of my foundation and other interested folk who have embraced my cause,â Bridges told the News & Recordâs Jeff Mills in 2019. âItâs about the 1 million men, women and children who hunt and fish in North Carolina, people who have generated $2.3 billion a year for our stateâs economy. No other sport has done that.â
