Firefighter Boot Drive
Hundreds of uniformed firefighters from fire departments all over San Diego County will take to street intersections within their communities to collect donations in their boots during the morning and evening commutes. Proceeds benefit the Burn Institute’s fire and burn prevention education programs and burn survivor support programs such as Camp Beyond the Scars for burn-injured children, 5-17 years.
Celebrating its 28th season, the Burn Institute’s unique camp program has provided a safe place for many hundreds of young burn survivors to share their experiences in a supportive camp environment. Sponsored by the San Diego–Imperial County Fire Fighters Advisory Council to the Burn Institute and the San Diego County Fire Chiefs’ Association, the Burn Institute’s 18th Annual Firefighter Boot Drive is the organization’s largest one-day fundraiser.
All of the funds raised through the Boot Drive stays in the county to benefit local communities. Info: 858-541-2277 or [email protected].
