AARBF offers four scholarships, The Woody and Louise Bridge to Life Scholarship, the Aiming Higher Educational Scholarship, the Phoenix World Burn Congress Scholarship and Therapy Grants. In addition, AARBF offers Emergency Financial Assistance during hospitalization, including financial, housing and food assistance; as well as Financial Assistance for medical supplies, including pressure garments and image enhancement services, including cosmetics, wigs, and make-up.Camps and Recreation: Champ Camp - is the largest as well as one of the longest running summer burn camps in the world, celebrating its 36th Anniversary in 2022. Champ Camp is held each year during the month of June at Wonder Valley Ranch in Sanger, CA. Due to COVID-19, in-person camp attendance was limited in 2021 resulting in the creation of a hybrid camp program with both in-person and virtual options. In 2022, Champ Camp in-person attendance numbers were restored to pre-pandemic programming and a virtual option was no longer available. However, children unable to attend due to health, hospitalization, or parental concerns received a camp in the box containing camp-themed activities. Other camp programs - Young Adult Summit (YAS) is a weekend retreat for burn survivors ages 16-21 that teaches life management skills, promotes educational and career development and focuses on relationship building. In 2022, YAS returned to an in-person program held February 18-21 at Camp Ocean Pines in Cambria, CA. The Young Adult Summit Advisors (counselors) crafted a program designed to prepare our young adults for the job force from writing resumes to personality test to help them determine where they may thrive. The Adult Retreat is a survivor-driven program that offers a unique opportunity for adult burn survivors, ages 21 and over, to learn from other burn survivors in attendance. The Adult Retreat, which also returned as an in-person program in 2022 is held at the same location and weekend as the Young Adult Summit, February 18-21. The group participated in several workshops which included topics such as body image, meditation, yoga, writing and support groups. Our adult survivors were able to grow together as a community, heal and strengthen each other, and embrace the journey they are on.The Getaway Family Camp is a weekend camp for burn survivors and their families/supporters held in Coarsegold, CA. The camp is designed to be a place where adult burn survivors can connect with peers who understand their situations and receive emotional support in a fun and safe environment. In 2022, we were able to return normal attendance levels (we had attendance restrictions in 2021). Held over Labor Day weekend, September 3-5, camp included workshop/support group, campfire, bingo night, and smores at campfire. In addition, they enjoyed many camp activities such as archery tag, archery, climbing wall, high ropes, swimming, and the giant water slide. New program - In 2022, AARBF launched a new in-person weekend retreat specifically designed for adult women burn survivors called the Womens Empowerment Weekend. On March 19-20, 2022 eleven survivors were in attendance from all walks of life, at all different stages of healing, and from all throughout the state of California. The weekend included workshops on various topics ranging from self-love to relationships, to work environment tips and tricks. Addition Survivor Services:All AARBF burn survivor programs returned to in-person activities in 2022. In 2022 visited 206 burn survivors and 119 family members for hospital visits. In 2022, AARBF launched a new monthly email message for burn survivors and their families. Included in the email is information about upcoming events and activities specific to their region as well as those available statewide. Members of our mailing list get early access to burn survivor events information and have the opportunity to register first.In the fall of 2022, AARBF hosted a virtual Back-to-School Town Hall designed to address the concerns surrounding sending a child burn survivor back to school. It was designed to address parents questions and concerns on how to support their child returning to school after a burn injury or transferring to a new school. 339880 BURN PREVENTION:Burn Prevention Education: The Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation works with local hospitals, fire departments, safety coalitions, and other organizations across California to develop innovative programs and services. Burn Prevention is the key to avoiding agonizing burn injuries. On September 20, 2022, AARBF conducted the first live presentation of SPARC at the Santa Clara Senior Center. SPARC is an acronym for Senior Prevention and Risk Conversations and is a burn prevention program geared towards older adults. Attendees learned ways they can prevent burn injuries as well as how they can share their knowledge with others. During Fire Prevention Week in October 2022, Pyramid Educational Consultants (PECs) and AARBF released and instructional video for the N.I.C.K. Program (Neurotypical/diverse Independent Communication Kit) for Fire and Burn Safety). The new 15-minute video, introduces the N.I.C.K. for Fire & Burn Safety materials and shows parents and professionals how to use them. The video is available on both the AARBF and PECs websites. For many years fire departments and burn organizations have been using many different fire safety messages for their public outreach efforts. However, the question has arisen as to whether these messages have been evaluated for both accuracy and effectiveness. It is now more critical than ever to ensure that when we do reach out to the public, that we are maximizing our ability to affect behavioral change with these messages. AARBF has assembled a team of Subject Matter Experts who are working together to develop a methodology for evaluating any fire safety message that can be scaled and distributed throughout the fire and burn safety community and departments. This will allow anyone to do the same evaluative process on their own messaging for accuracy and effectiveness. Funding for this project has been awarded by FEMA through a two-year grant. On August 16-18, 2022 this team held an in-person meeting in Los Angeles, CA. 845233 true true false false false false false false false true true true false false true true true false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 18 0 true 7 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 10 10 false false false false false false false true true false true true true true true true true true true true false CA X DANIEL CHACON 4154957223 44 MONTGOMERY STREET 3RD FLOOR SAN FRANCISCO CA 94104 DANIEL W CHACON Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 111757 0 0 JENNIFER RADICS-JOHN EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 0.00 43343 0 0 LEA ELDER President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 RANA STEPHAN Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 CARA GOODMAN Secretary 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 MIKE BRADLEY Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 JULIE BURNS Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 ALISON CLARK Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BOB AYMAR Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 BROOKE CAPPA Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 JAMIE CALNAN Director 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Russ Charvonia PAST PRESIDENT 0.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 155100 1 true false false 0 515956 515956 PROGRAM FEES 3755 3755 3755 17900 17900 0 0 0 0 178903 46299 132604 0 0 OTHER INCOME 900099 2739 2739 2739 672954 6494 17900 X 0 29665 29665 0 0 111757 81570 9415 20772 0 275429 201033 23204 51192 0 26114 19060 2200 4854 33071 24138 2786 6147 0 420 42 189 189 0 0 0 0 149187 138739 4642 5806 0 1566 561 925 80 0 0 55518 49960 2779 2779 32471 27631 812 4028 0 2424 2424 4152 3738 207 207 0 3710 2707 313 690 10556 6514 3664 378 PROGRAM EXPENSES 188753 188753 DUES & SUBSCRIPTIONS 19694 11557 496 7641 AUTO EXPENSE 14057 11197 156 2704 BANK CHARGES AND PAYROLL FEES 8376 7534 425 417 51045 38410 2370 10265 1017965 845233 54583 118149 426898 121848 194378 243929 146316 6500 0 0 0 0 0 3678 12149 207738 131446 80002 76292 0 846373 728729 0 0 4752 6980 1702397 1196427 78366 62883 147778 144238 2607 226144 209728 X 1421253 929747 55000 56952 1476253 986699 1702397 1196427 -345011 -144543 X false true X true false X 781506 1330539 693994 951239 515956 4273234 0 0 781506 1330539 693994 951239 515956 4273234 410773 3862461 2822 32385 8053 108435 17900 169595 0 28782 5600 485 135413 6494 176774 4619603 0.83610 0.85570 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 846373 9000 -122832 3812 728729 738360 31500 85665 9152 846373 614510 57000 75420 8570 738360 581575 50000 -6785 10280 614510 658532 -66095 10862 581575 true false false 27999 9184 18815 74692 71185 3507 105047 51077 53970 76292 728729 lease liabiltiy 2607 2607 X 574710 -144543 46299 -98244 672954 672954 1064264 46299 46299 1017965 1017965 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.
