The second half of Arizona Burn Foundation’s mission is to promote burn prevention education and advocacy across the state. Through partnerships with local fire departments across Arizona, the foundation has worked to install free smoke alarms in high-risk areas, host smoke alarm events, and educate senior citizens on fall and burn prevention. Kids of all ages learn about burn prevention through an adorable program called Milo & Moxie: Smart Safety Rangers. This storytime curriculum teaches children and their parents burn-safe behaviors and has reached nearly 240,000 kids across Arizona. More than 60 fire departments have also adopted the program, and Arizona Burn Foundation has a goal that every preschool child in Arizona will have this education available to them. THE FUTURE Aside from being the state leader in burn prevention education and advocacy, Arizona Burn Foundation is also looking to grow its current programs while expanding across the country. University Medical Center in Tucson is working on its burn center classification and Arizona Burn Foundation is planning to become a partner on a higher level of burn care and treatment as well as offering services such as art, music and client therapies. Other cities and states across the country have seen the impact that the Milo & Moxie program can have on school-aged kids. Most recently, it has expanded to Sacramento, and within the next few months, 10,000 students will meet their new dog and hummingbird burn-prevention friends. Denver and San Antonio have also reached out for presentations about how they can adopt the program in their markets. Camp Courage was created to address the emotional needs of children who have suffered severe burn injuries. About 80 youth burn survivors from around the state attend this free, therapeutic camp each year. 40 FRONTDOORS MEDIA | NOVEMBER 2019
