This week the Burn Foundation officially launched the new Firefighters of Vegas Calendar.
The organization celebrated at Able Baker Brewing, where attendees could purchase the calendar and have it signed by many of the featured firefighters.
The organization is planning pop-ups around town in August and September.
The Firefighters of Vegas Calendar is available online at theburnfoundation.org for $25.
Able Baker Brewing
At Able Baker Brewing, we take pride in creating a unique, finely-crafted, premium quality beer with an emphasis on fresh ingredients and bold flavor profiles. We use the Atomic Age as inspiration to showcase Nevada’s resourcefulness and cast a respectful nod toward our unique state history.
Our brewery and taproom is located on “Brewery Row” near the Arts District in Downtown Las Vegas. We feature over 30 craft beers on tap, including our iconic Atomic Duck IPA, plus wine, and limited select spirits.
Hungry? We host the Arts District Kitchen, an in-house food concept that features a full made-from-scratch menu. We’re family-friendly, have a pet-friendly patio, and have multiple TVs in the taproom.
Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation
The Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation consists of active fire department personnel providing support to victims of fires & catastrophic events. The Burn Survivor Initiative raises funds to help more children attend seasonal burn camps, receive counseling and attend school reintegration programs. The Burn Foundation also collects toys for the disadvantaged children throughout the valley, and have provided at least one toy to thousands of children in need during the holidays.
While fighting fires, firefighters witnessed many burn victims and their families suffer physically and emotionally after ultimately losing their homes and necessities. These firefighters from across the valley decided to do something to help. Each year, thousands of children receive traumatic burns throughout the USA. In Las Vegas alone, the scars caused by burns affect hundreds of our kids each year. These scars must be worn physically and emotionally for the remainder of their lives. The Burn Survivor Initiative raises funds to help more children attend seasonal burn camps, receive counseling, attend school reintegration programs and begin living their lives again.
When firefighters anywhere in the valley are faced with a burn victim or family in need of support, they contact a representative of the Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation to assist.
Due to the firefighters’ success in helping others and raising funds, this coalition began to take it further in the community and began to collect toys during the month of December, for the disadvantaged children throughout the valley. The Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation have provided at least one toy to thousands of children in need during the holidays. For over 16 years, they have held successful Toy Drives and given back to the children in our community.
