It's the season of giving, and we know we can count on you.

Over this past year, the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation has continued to provide high quality services to burn survivors and burn prevention education to the communities of California despite the difficult economic times. Over the course of this recession, corporate and institutional donations have significantly decreased, leaving a gap in the resources needed to provide these services. Thus far, this gap has been filled by dedicated, caring individuals such as you. Can we count on your continued support of these vital programs?

• A donation of $750 would send one of the 130 burn injured children we expect to Champ Camp next summer.
• A donation of $350 would allow one young person to attend the Young Adult Summit, a skill and confidence building weekend for teen burn survivors facing the transition into adulthood.
• A gift of $75 would support one burn survivor to participate an annual recreational event and an opportunity to interact with other survivors.
• A gift of $25 would provide enough burn prevention activity books for a classroom of 30 elementary kids.

We know that we are standing strong because of you: dedicated volunteers, long-time donors, and our unfaltering community supporters. You gave generously in the past and we're so grateful for your support. We look to you now to please remember AARBF during this holiday season with a donation and, if at all possible, help us overcome our shortfall by increasing your annual gift during our time of need.

Thank you for being a hero to the burn survivors we serve. We are truly grateful to have your support. Our best wishes for a bright and prosperous new year!
