Boot drive raises $25,000 for Burn Foundation

The Forsyth County Fire Department’s 2011 boot drive generated $25,451 to support the Georgia Firefighters Burn Foundation and local fire safety and burn prevention programs. The drive was held at intersections during May.

Funds are used for fire safety and prevention education, the support of medical facilities and the assistance of burn survivors in their recovery. Money raised also goes to Camp Oo-U-La®, Georgia’s only camp held exclusively for burn-injured children.
