"Tip A Firefighter" For Hoosier Burn Camp April 24

Firefighters from the Fishers Fire Department will be at the Fishers Texas Roadhouse on Tuesday, April 24 from 5:00 to 8:00 pm to help greet diners and serve tables.

Diners can learn about Hoosier Burn Camp, talk to firefighters about their own safety, and leave an optional "tip" donation for the camp.

The annual goal is to raise enough money to cover the week’s cost for one camper, which is estimated to be $1,000.

The Fishers G.I.V.E. (Generosity, Involvement, and Volunteerism by Employees) committee will be adding an extra activity outside this year. Kids, and adults, can spray a fire hose at a target for a small donation.  The G.I.V.E. committee is made up of Town of Fishers Employees who volunteer time to benefit area charities.

“Hoosier Burn Camp is a unique opportunity for kids who have survived serious burns to get together in a place where they can share in fellowship and activities designed just for them. ” said Fishers Fire Chief Steve Orusa. “We’re excited to help create more opportunity for children to attend camp and the other great programs being offered.”

Hoosier Burn Camp has the mission of being "A Place to be Just One of the Kids", providing young burn survivors a week away from their surroundings to participate in a week of typical camp activities and confidence-building programs. Campers often overcome fears associated with their injuries and scars, like being seen wearing shorts or a bathing suit, or talking openly about their injuries with other campers.
