Champy-on 2021
Formally known as the Bows for Dough and Grow Your Stache fundraiser is now the Champy-on challenge! You can select what team you would like to be a part of.
Choose your challenge; Bows, Stache or Champy-on!
It is the 6th anniversary for our annual “Bows for Dough Fundraiser”, the 12th anniversary of “Grow Your Stache Fundraiser” and 1st year of the “Champy-on Fundraiser” and this year it will be a bit different for us all. We are heavily supported through this fundraiser by volunteers, community partners and by medical professionals such as; burn unit nurses, physical therapists, doctors. This year it will be harder on them to be able to support AARBF because they are needed more than ever during this pandemic, their mission is to make sure we are safe and cared for.
Are you able to help AARBF and your fellow medical teams out? Help raise funds for the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation during our 8 week fundraiser starting April 15th and ending June 9th. You are able to sport an AARBF Bow, Mustache or Champy Pin to spread awareness. Your bow or pin will be provided by AARBF once you register and raise your first $50!
Create or join a team and encourage your friends, family, community, camp counselors, medical professionals, new counselor training class and firefighters to participate and donate here online!
