The Council
The mission of the Children’s Burn Foundation is furthered by the efforts of The Council, a dynamic volunteer group of approximately 70 dedicated members who work to support the Foundation’s fundraising and community outreach initiatives.
Founded in 1996, The Council hosts the annual Giving New Hope Benefit, where they bestow the Giving New Hope Award to a community leader who has demonstrated significant commitment to improving the lives of children. Through the Giving New Hope Benefit, The Council has raised more than $8 million since 1996.
