Join the Firefighters Burn Institute for an elegant evening to celebrate 50 years of supporting the burn community. Tickets include dinner, music and dancing!
Each year, dozens of fire agencies throughout Northern and Central California help make a positive difference in the lives of burn survivors by hosting a Boot Drive in their community.
Hundreds of firefighters volunteer every year to collect money in their boots during the annual Firefighters “Fill the Boot for Burns” Boot Drive fundraisers for the Firefighters Burn Institute.
Donations are used to improve burn treatment and to fund life-altering burn recovery programs, including Firefighters Kids Camp for young burn survivors and the Little Heroes Family Burn Camp.
In 2023, our goal is to raise one half million dollars to support burn programs and regional burn centers. We are confident that with the help of fire agencies who have already stepped forward and made commitments to hold Boot Drives in 2023, we can meet this challenge
If you, your department or association is interested in hosting a Boot Drive in your community, please contact the Firefighters Burn Institute at (916) 739-8525 or kristen@ffburn.org
