CEO Corner January 2025

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone was able to have fun with family and friends which filled the holiday season with warmth and joy.

As we look forward into 2025, we are ABF see “Hope” for our burn community in Arizona.  With the opportunity for our survivors to receive the support of ABF because of your donations we know that the quality of life for our survivors and families will be greater.

As a recent mass casualty event has demonstrated, burns can happen anywhere and at any time.  We know trauma is never planned for but in this case when a significant number of individuals are impacted along with the family it reminds us all that we need to be prepared for the worst case scenario.

What that means for us at ABF is to remind each of you how greatly we appreciate what you have contributed over the past year, and if you have given your year end gift, thank you.  If you have not sent your gift as of now maybe consider adding a little extra to assist those in need as we look to support families for the long healing process.

Stay safe everyone and I look forward to hearing from you and seeing you soon.
