How Your Support Makes A Difference
The Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation (AARBF) is a California-based nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing burns and fires and providing services to those who have been affected by a burn injury. AARBF brings together health care providers, firefighters, emergency workers, burn care professionals, burn survivors, and our community to enhance the quality of life for burn survivors and to make burn injuries a thing of the past.
About AARBF
At age eight, Alisa Ann Ruch was fatally injured in a backyard barbecue accident in Southern California. Bravely using their tragedy as a catalyst for change, Alisa Ann’s parents, local firefighters and medical professionals joined together and created AARBF in 1971 with the goal of preventing burn injuries by teaching “Stop, Drop, and Roll.”
Since 1971, AARBF has been spreading the word across California about fire safety and burn prevention, all while helping burn survivors and their families find hope and support in the wake of challenging experiences. Our communities have been made safer because of decades of passionate work from volunteers and allies, and we look forward to continuing these efforts with your help.
In celebration of our 50th Anniversary, the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation would like for you to join volunteers, board members, survivors and our community in celebration of the winning photos from the contest. The program will include the unveiling of the winners and a donation of framed photos to Santa Clara Valley Medical Center and Bothin Burn Center.
