Our Mission:
1. To bring awareness to the needed expansion of facilities and programs to dedicated towards the Regional Burn Center at Santa Clara Valley Medical and Fire Prevention Programs.
2. To raise funds to provide additional funding for the burn
patient programs in need.
Campaign Goals:
$15,000 in which all proceeds go towards Santa Clara Valley Medical Regional Burn Center and Fire Prevention Programs.
Our fire department is raising much needed funds to benefit the Regional Burn Center at Santa Clara Valley Medical Center (VMC) and the patients they care for. The Regional Burn Center has been treating burn patients for over 40 years. It is the only trauma burn center in the bay area, and 1 of only 2 between Los Angeles and the Oregon border. Currently the burn center has only an 8-bed intensive care unit, which treats both children and adults.
As firefighters we are very familiar with the first minutes after a fire, or other trauma but for burn patients this is just the beginning of a long road to recovery and ultimately to returning to their lives. The emotional damage of surviving a serious burn is not something that we feel qualified to measure, but the physical effects are severe, and long lasting. The Regional Burn Center staff includes Psychologists, Therapists, Social Workers, and Volunteers (many of them burn survivors.)
In the United States, over 100,000 children each year suffer serious burns, approximately 60% will require hospitalization. Treatment, Recovery, and Prevention programs are all crucial. Today we are launching our campaign to benefit these much needed programs.
We ask that you stand with us in our efforts. Staff members of the Regional Burn Center and the Spring Valley Fire Department have worked to design this attractive, limited edition 2013 t-shirt and hoodie. This limited edition 2013 edition of the Regional Burn Center/Firefighter graphic presents the courage both firefighters and more importantly patients share.
Perks:
In return to your pledges we would like to thank you with
our limited edition apparel brought to you by Aura Apparel. The phoenix is meant to represent that there
is life even after the devastation that a fire can inflict. This phoenix wraps around an emblem that
depicts the courage each and every firefighter has to answer when others would
flee. Together they represent the mission
for which this project stands which is to honor and support the efforts of both
burn centers and the firefighters. Within
the perks there are some that are limited in quantity. Based on new firefighter
technology that was created for safety the ink has been readapted to leave a
bigger impression on apparel by glowing certain colors at night. *Single Category Pledges (under $250) are printed using high quality ink that does not glow in the dark.
Shipping: 1-5 = $5.95
6<More = $16.95
*If the campaign doesn’t not reach its goal the balance will
still be donated towards the regional burn center*
