About us

The Arizona Burn Foundation is dedicated to improve the quality of life for burn survivors and their families in Arizona, while promoting burn prevention advocacy and education. Since 1967, Arizona Burn Foundation has provided survivor support programs that help children & adults cope with the devastating psychological & physical effects of their injuries. We assist burn survivors & their families from crisis to recovery, to a life of thriving - one day at a time. In addition, we are the leader in providing advocacy and education programs in the state of Arizona. Collaborating with fire departments and other prevention education agencies, we are the training agency for best practices through the largest and most successful Smoke Alarm Installation Outreach Program in the state. Since 2007, we have installed 18,000+ free smoke alarms throughout Arizona – more than any other organization in the state. In addition, we are changing the face of children's burn prevention advocacy through our statewide education program: Milo & Moxie: Smart Safety Rangers™. Our goal is to address the issue of burn-injury prevention to the most vulnerable population for this type of injury: children under the age of 12 - resulting in a reduction of pediatric burn injuries. For 50+ years, we have witnessed the devastating effects a burn injury has on a child. It is our mission to do all we can to prevent another severe burn injury from occurring.

  • We are immensely grateful for volunteers like Abby, who dedicate their time and energy to make a difference in the lives of burn survivors. Earlier this week, Abby joined us for a volunteer day at the Arizona Burn Foundation, where we were busy preparing for our upcoming Children’s Burn Camp, Camp Courage. Camp Courage is a cornerstone of our mission, providing a safe haven for young burn survivors to heal, grow, and thrive. Without the dedication of individuals like Abby, events like these wouldn't be possible, and the impact we have in the burn community would be greatly diminished. Thank you, Abby, for your unwavering support and commitment to our cause. Together, we are making a difference one life at a time.

Their burn camp, Camp Courage, provides ongoing recovery care for youth burn survivors ages 6-15. It is a safe camp environment which fosters personal growth, emotional recovery from a traumatic burn injury, and lasting leadership skills #ABF #firedamagerestoration #teamehs

    Glenn Jordan went into his shop early the morning of August 26, 2021 at the All-American Eyeglass Repair to work on some orders. He was on the phone at 9:23 a.m. when the building was rocked by a natural gas explosion. LISTEN NOW: https://lnkd.in/gD-AQvjc Glenn survived thanks to fast work from first responders, but it would take the next 40 days at the Arizona Burn Center with second- and third-degree burns on 40 percent of his body, followed by 10 days of rehab. It’s been a long and painful recovery, but Glenn and his family were helped by the Arizona Burn Foundation, a nonprofit that provides burn survivors with crisis care - lodging and transportation assistance, emotional support, food vouchers and emergency financial assistance – recovery care, and learning to thrive through providing social gatherings, camps, retreats and peer-to-peer support groups. As Glenn’s condition improved, he immediately wanted to help others. He started by volunteering at Camp Courage, a camp for children who are burn survivors. Always a physical guy, Glenn – who had done a Rim-to-Rim-to-Rim hike of the Grand Canyon a few years before the explosion – worked back up to doing 1,000 pull-ups a month in physical therapy and at the gym. Then he had an idea for a fundraiser for the Arizona Burn Foundation that had helped him so much – completing 2,000 pull-ups in a seemingly impossible 12 hours. The result? He went over his goal, raising $40,000 for the Foundation Click here learn more about the Arizona Burn Foundation: https://azburn.org/ #rescuersradioshow #hope #rescuers #heroes Arizona Burn Foundation @Glenn Jordan #burns

    Student at Arizona State Univerisity

    This past semester I had the wonderful opportunity to volunteer with the Arizona Burn Foundation Foundation through Changemaker Central @ ASU West Valley. The Arizona Burn Foundation is a non-profit organization that offers support, resources, and assistance to individuals and families who have been affected by burn injuries. They provide a wide range of services such as counseling, financial assistance, and educational programs to advocate for burn prevention and safety. I worked with 25 other West Valley Students to help replace over 75 smoke detectors with the El Mirage Fire Department and American Red Cross. With their help, I helped make an impact on the lives of the El Mirage Community, Thank you to all the organizations that made this possible.
