On Wednesday, March 5, from 6 to 9:30 a.m., hundreds of uniformed firefighters from 30+ departments will be at intersections across the county (morning and afternoon commutes) to collect donations for the Burn Institute’s burn survivor support services and its ongoing fire and burn prevention education. All funds raised will be sent locally to San Diego County.
Proceeds benefit the Burn Institute’s programs, such as Camp Beyond the Scars for burn-injured children. This invaluable camp program has provided hundreds of young burn survivors a safe place to share their experiences in a supportive and nurturing environment.
“Our fire departments are committed to the Boot Drive to ensure we can continue to support burn victims – and provide education to prevent future trauma,” said Peter Callstrom, executive director. If you do not see a firefighter on your commute, you can still donate at burninstitute.org
Since 1972, the Burn Institute has served and supported burn survivors and their families (San Diego and Imperial Valley) to recover and prosper. Its programs and services help individuals and families cope with the devastating psychological and physical effects of burn injuries.
The Burn Institute provides proactive and extensive fire and burn prevention education and resources to tens of thousands annually. Its work reduces injuries, saves lives, and protects our communities. It is a nonprofit public benefit 501c3.
