Finding Fairways to Healing

A Legacy of Partnership & Compassion Since 1997, a dedicated group of volunteers from the Minnesota Chapter of the National Fire Sprinkler Association has worked hand-in-hand with the Minnesota State Fire Marshal’s Office and Regions Hospital with a single, shared purpose: to bring hope and healing to those affected by burn injuries.

 

What began as a golf event has grown into a powerful movement of community support.

​

In 2018, we solidified this commitment by officially establishing the Burn Aid Foundation as a 501(c)(3) charity. To this day, we remain a 100% volunteer-driven organization, united by the professional bonds and personal dedication of these three great organizations.

Caring Hands

Your Generosity in Action

Thanks to the unwavering support of our sponsors and participants, we have raised over $2 million to transform lives. These funds do far more than simply purchase state-of-the-art equipment for the Regions Hospital Burn Center; they open doors to recovery that many families could not otherwise afford.

 

Your contributions directly fund vital programs, including:

​

  • Advanced Medical Equipment: Ensuring the Burn Center remains a leader in critical care and burn treatment technology.

  • Camp RED (Realize Every Dream): A safe, supportive environment in Northern Minnesota where young burn survivors can build confidence and connect with others who share their journey.

  • Minnesota Family Burn Camp: A healing retreat in Ely, MN, that allows entire families to recover and reconnect in the peace of the great outdoors.

  • Roger Pepper Adventure Camp: A specialized winter camp in Crested Butte, Colorado, offering teen burn survivors the chance to experience independence and adventure.

 

We invite you to visit our News tab to see the real faces and touching stories behind these numbers, and to witness how your kindness is making a tangible difference every day.
