On April 15, 2021, the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation marked its 50th year providing burn education and burn survivor support services to California.
In March, we shared a behind the scenes glimpse into our recent 50th Anniversary Photoshoot! These photos will be used in a commemorative 50th Anniversary coffee table book, releasing later this year, featuring 50 stories from our burn community.
February 7-13, the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation (AARBF) participated in the National Burn Awareness Week (NBAW).
On January 6, AARBF hosted a virtual yoga led by Dr. J, Poindexter and Sunflower. We appreciate our instructors for leading this session and thank our participants for joining us!
In a year full of firsts, we ended it with our first Virtual Holiday Party on Friday, December 11, with more than 360 burn survivors & their families!
In celebration of this anniversary, we are working on putting together a commemorative coffee table book that will include 50 stories….YOUR stories! These will be stories from burn survivors, volunteers, firefighters, nurses, educators, donors, family members, friends…everyone who has made AARBF what it is today!
Each year, the first full week of October is dedicated to Fire Prevention Week. This year’s national theme was “Serve Up Fire Safety in the Kitchen.” Although kitchen safety is a very important topic, especially in recent months with so many people spending more time at home and preparing their own meals, it is not the most important issue facing California.
Each year, AARBF hosts The Getaway, a weekend camp for burn survivors and their families. This camp is important to our burn survivor families so we modified it for a virtual experience.
