This morning, an amazing group of volunteers gathered in Glendale to install more than 130 free smoke alarms in high risk homes. This smoke alarm walk was made possible through the partnership between ABF, Glendale Fire Department, Glendale Fire Fighters Charities, and the American Red Cross. Thank you volunteers for a great morning making Glendale residents more safe in their homes!

On October 19th, the Arizona Burn Foundation is partnering with the Glendale Fire Department to educate the community, reduce the risk of house fires, and save lives! With your help, we are installing free smoke alarms in homes located in high-risk neighborhoods.
We plan on reaching 400 homes with this event, so we need volunteers to help make this happen! We will provide you with all the necessary tools and training to do the installations. This is a great event that not only benefits families in need, but is also a fun way to hang out with your friends and family while networking with others that truly care about giving back.
Meet us at the southwest end of Sahuaro Ranch Park at 8:00am to help save lives! To sign up, visit azburn.org/smokealarms/

Camp Courage is staffed by volunteers including doctors, nurses, social workers, physical and occupational therapists, fire service personnel, teachers, and other professionals. Many of the staff are burn survivors themselves, a few were even campers at one point. The qualified staff participates in various professional development, team-building, and training sessions designed to prepare them to deal with the specific needs of burn survivors. This results in a highly dedicated group of volunteers.
Each year we need volunteers for the following positions: Counselors (guide campers through all activities all week); Ropes Crew (be a part of the ropes course, challenge course, archery or rifles); Art and Crafts (help campers express themselves creatively); and, Lifeguards (for the swimming pool and Lake Day).
Applications for Camp Courage 2019 are now CLOSED. All volunteers must be available for MANDATORY TRAINING on May 4, 2019. New applicants must be available for interviews with the Core Committee on March 1 or 2, 2019. For more information contact programs@azburn.org.
