Growing H.O.P.E.

On Wednesday, August 11th at the beautifully refurbished Walter Station Brewery (a former Firehouse converted into a brewery and entertainment venue) the Arizona Burn Foundation launched it’s Growing H.O.P.E. capacity-building campaign.  In this bold three-year initiative, ABF seeks to take its services statewide to establish “hubs” of support for our burn survivors beyond Maricopa County.

This $1.78 million capacity-building campaign got off to a good start with 3-year pledges totaling $243,300 so far.  We have a way to go.  Under the guided leadership of Dr. Kevin Foster of the Arizona Burn Center, Bryan Jeffries, President of the Professional Fire Fighters Association of Arizona, and Jason Nelson and Jessica Fotinos of the ABF Board, we are pushing forward to talk to all community and business leaders across the state who will listen to our message of support to burn survivors.  Join us as we are Growing H.O.P.E all throughout the state.  And find out how you can help by emailing our Campaign Director, Michael Dimengo, at michael.dimengo@azburn.org.
