Virtual Give Burns The Boot® Campaign

Supporting the burn survivor community is more critical than ever before
Although the COVID‐19 pandemic seems to be easing its’ grip on the world, unfortunately fire trauma and burn injuries have not lessened and the important work of GFBF supporting the burn survivor community is more critical than ever before.
While firefighters cautiously return to traditional Give Burns the Boot® activities by collecting donations at intersections and storefronts across the state, departments are still encouraged to continue utilizing the Virtual Boot Drive online platform, which has proven a great supplement to in-person efforts by offering the option of “contactless giving” for ease of participation in support of departments’ individual fundraising campaigns.
Fire departments will also continue to benefit from the reinvestment incentive program, whereby 10% of the collected funds are designated for supporting fire safety/burn prevention initiatives in their local communities. THANK YOU!
