Arizona Burn Foundation CEO Rex Albright said the foundation's $60K grant  will support life-changing programs  such as Camp Courage, a weeklong summer camp in Prescott where burn survivors can engage with others who have been through similar circumstances.

“I will never forget when I asked one of our campers what camp meant to him,” Albright said. “He responded: ‘Camp gave me my name back.’ He went on to tell me that before camp, he was the “burn survivor” – at baseball, in the neighborhood at school. When he introduced himself at camp by saying he was a burn survivor, counselors said ‘No – who are you?’ He said he came away from camp being Jason again, regaining his identity beyond being a burn survivor.”
