On Saturday March 7th, we were so fortunate to attend this year’s Charity Burn Gala hosted by The San Jose Firefighters Burn Foundation (SJFFBF). SJFFBF does so much to help the community here in CA. The support they offer patients treated by our friends at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center has made such a strong impact on the lives and recovery of so many survivors. It was such an incredible night filled with great food, awesome auction items, and the company of some truly remarkable members of the burn community. We got to hear from survivors who shared their stories about overcoming the challenges early on in their recovery, and to see them that night, dressed up feeling proud and triumphant was so special. Also, getting a snapshot into the work the burn unit at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center is doing to ensure the best possible care for survivors now, and in the future has us confident that anyone who finds themself as a patient there is in great hands.
Thank you so much, SJFFBF, for such a great night of celebration and your continuous involvement in the burn survivor community and hospital staff at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center. Your commitment to helping survivors and their families makes a lasting and meaningful difference. We so deeply appreciate your compassion, enthusiasm, and generosity you bring to our mission every day.
We look forward to the continuation of our working partnership again this year.
