Firefigher's Burned Children Fund
The Firefighters' Burned Children Fund is a non-profit organization developed by area firefighters to support burn survivors and to prevent burn injuries before they occur. The NC Burned Children's Fund works with the NC Burn Hospitals to provide support for families with burn victims. Programs such as the fall toy drive to gather supplies, can drives, and many other fundraising opportunities are used to help these families.
