EVENTS HOSTED BY THE UNION

Slide 1: chili Cook-Off

Annual Chili Cook-Off

While the teams are competing for Best Chili and Best Booth, they are unified towards one common goal: To raise money for The University of Utah Health Burn Camp Programs. The Burn Camp programs help burn survivors adjust to the personal challenges associated with surviving a burn injury. Five camps geared towards specific age groups provide a safe and supportive atmosphere that is conducive to healing. This gives burn survivors the tools needed to endure and thrive through their recovery.

Slide 2: Burn Association

Burn Camp Breakfast

The University of Utah Health Burn Camp Program was established in 1993 to help support burn survivors with the personal challenges associated with surviving a burn injury. We currently run five different programs geared toward specific age groups, providing a safe and supportive atmosphere for everyone involved. Burn camp is a wonderful way to begin the healing process. Burn camp staff are made up of professional nurses, firefighters, physical therapists, and volunteers.

Slide 3: Cancer Victim Support Shirt

Cancer Victim Support Fundraiser

Local 5143 of South Davis Metro Fire is always looking for ways to give back to our community. This time it has hit close to home. One of our very own has a sister in need. She has already fought this fight once before. Please help us support her and her family win the battle against Stage 4 breast cancer. We are selling breast cancer awareness T-shirts. All proceeds will go directly to her and her family.

Slide 4: Little Warriors Camp

Little Warriors Camp

The Little Warriors Camp, organized by the Utah Elks Veterans Program, is a compassionate initiative designed to support children who have lost a parent in military service or due to PTSD-related circumstances. This annual camp offers a nurturing environment where young participants, along with their caregivers, can find solace, engage in recreational activities, and connect with others facing similar challenges.
