On Wednesday, May 7, 2008, support local firefighters as they take to the streets for the 8th Annual “Give Burns the Boot” Countywide Firefighter Boot Drive.
Each year, hundreds of uniformed firefighters from fire departments all over San Diego County come together for a common goal, standing at intersections within their communities to collect donations in their boots during the morning and evening commutes. Each year passing motorists generously help to fill those boots with their spare change to help young burn survivors.
Sponsored by the San Diego–Imperial County Fire Fighters Advisory Council to the Burn Institute and the San Diego County Fire Chiefs’ Association, the event is not only the agency’s largest one-day fundraiser, but it highlights the close relationship that has developed between the Burn Institute and the fire service. Proceeds benefit Burn Institute fire and burn prevention education programs and burn survivor support programs such as Camp Beyond the Scars for burn-injured children. All of the money raised through the Boot Drive stays in San Diego County.
Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection will be participating in this year's event by accepting donations at the following locations: |
