Phoenix area firefighters involved in the Sixth Annual Burn Camp Run will rev up their motorcycle engines and depart Phoenix Fire Station 56 for their ride up to the camp in Prescott at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, June 15th. They’ll take the Wickenburg/Yarnell route and arrive at Prescott’s Fire Station #1 at 333 White Spar Road for registration at 11 a.m. Only fire department members, retirees, and their guests are allowed to participate in the ride, hosted by the Phoenix Area Wind & Fire Motorcycle Chapter. All riders raise funds for the Arizona Burn Camp by securing corporate and private sponsors. Last year they raised $104,000, and they hope to make a significant contribution again this year.

The Arizona Burn Camp – “Camp Courage” – is a rehabilitative program that provides a safe environment where children can enjoy a week of summer camp specially tailored to their needs. The kids who attend the camp have sustained severely traumatic burn injuries. The camp provides an opportunity for them to participate in summer-time activities among other young burn survivors in a safe, friendly, and non-judgmental environment. Volunteers, counselors, and Phoenix firefighters and paramedics staff the camp.

Contributions to the Arizona Burn Camp may be made by check at Wind & Fire, P.O. Box 11355, Glendale, AZ 85318-1355 or at www.windandfirephoenixchapter.com.
