Educational Scholarships are Still Available

Applications are open through May 31, 2025 for the Woody and Louise Reed Bridge to Life Scholarship. This incredible program, made possible by the Reed family, awards scholarships to burn survivors or their immediate family members seeking post-secondary education after high school. This can be community college, college, university, or trade school and is open to all ages going directly into or returning to education.

For burn survivors pursuing higher academic degrees, Master’s level or PhD, use the same application for the Aiming Higher Scholarship, funded through Care Plans for Life, to supplement your school cost and pave the way to your bright future.

Enjoying the Return of the Santa Clara Crab Feed

Enjoying the Return of the Santa Clara Crab Feed

AARBF’s Daniel Chacon and Michael Knopf kicked off the month of February by attending the Santa Clara Crab Feed on the 1st. We were excited to see the return of this event which was held at the Great America Pavilion in Santa Clara. There were over 250 people in attendance, enjoying terrific food and having the opportunity to learn about AARBF.

Thank You to Santa Clara City Firefighters Foundation for supporting AARBF and to Elizabeth “Tum Tum” Harkins for spending some time with us. This year’s event raised $10,000 for AARBF.   

Focusing on Prevention

Focusing on Prevention

The first full week of February is National Burn Awareness Week (NBAW). NBAW was created by our friends at the American Burn Association, as an annual initiative to bring together burn, fire and life safety educators to educate the public about the devastation and causes of burn injuries and the steps you can take to prevent them.

This week’s theme is “Burn Prevention Where You Live, Work, and Play – Preventing Burns in the Homes.” We shared tips on our social media throughout the week to show ways to prevent burn injuries to keep you and your family safe.
