-Support to burn victims and their families receiving treatment at both Washington Hospital Center and Children's National Medical Center.
-Funding for The Burn Center at Washington Hospital Center to purchase medical and physical therapy equipment, conduct burn research programs, and special projects deemed necessary by the burn center staff.
-Burn education and prevention programs for citizens and firefighters.
-Funding for young burn survivors to attend the Children’s Burn Camp.
