Children who experience severe burns face some of the most difficult hardships and challenges throughout their lives. The Child Burn Foundation's success is built on a network of volunteers throughout the U.S. and individual and corporate donations.
Volunteer: Do you have extra time? Do you believe in helping those less fortunate. Donating your time as one of our volunteers or becoming an intern can be very rewarding.
Donations: As a nationally recognized and registered non-profit, all charitable donations are tax-deductible.

Know Your Water Temperature:
Do you know the temperature of your water? Did you know that 130 degree water can burn a child within seconds? Every year, more than 5,000 children are seriously burned by hot tap water. Simple, cost effective techniques can change a life forever.
What to do if your child is burned:
When a child is burned, caregivers can go into "shock and panic" mode. However, child burn injuries require immediate care and knowing what to do "right now" can save a child's life.
