Arizona Burn Foundation

Burn survivors rely on medical professionals, emotional support staff, families, and friends. That’s why Arizona Burn Foundation offers compassionate services that bring all parties together through a comprehensive continuum of care.

Arizona Burn Foundation has been serving the Grand Canyon State and its residents for decades, providing education, emotional support, financial assistance, and leadership development programs to help those who’ve encountered the devastating effects of burn injuries.

From the time of a survivor’s injury through the rest of their life, Arizona Burn Foundation supports burn survivors and their families. We bring them through recovery until they no longer identify as a victim, but instead as a human being of intrinsic value and worth.

For more than 50 years, Arizona Burn Foundation has provided high-quality support programs for children, adult burn survivors, and their families. Two Maricopa County surgeons — Dr. MacDonald Wood and Dr. William Price — and attorney George “Fritz” Randolph established the Foundation in 1967. Ever since, we’ve collaborated with organizations, communities, medical professionals, burn centers, and hospitals across the state to ensure that anyone who suffers a burn injury receives the highest standard of care and assistance. What’s more, we help burn survivors reclaim their identity and that our work is instrumental to their holistic recovery. Burn and fire safety starts with prevention and education. Through our two signature programs Milo & Moxie: Smart Safety Rangers™ and Community Smoke Alarm events, we bring positive and proactive change that saves lives.

As a nonprofit, tax-exempt 501(c)(3) organization, we rely on your donations to help us achieve our mission: To improve the quality of life for burn survivors and their families in Arizona, while promoting burn prevention advocacy and education.

Benevilla

Benevilla is a community supported human services agency serving Sun City, Sun City West, Youngtown, Peoria, Glendale, Surprise, El Mirage, and surrounding areas. “Bene” from the Latin meaning good and “Villa” from the Latin meaning home—together it means “good home.” Our name conveys the warmth and support this agency is proud to have offered for over four decades. Benevilla was formed as a not-for-profit organization in 1981 by a group of Sun City residents who were concerned that many of the community’s residents could not obtain important services to maintain their independence and quality of life. Benevilla has grown from a group of 30 volunteers helping with errands and home care services and a handful of employees to a network of Life Enrichment Day Programs, free support and educational services, comprehensive caremanagement programs, and social activities. This is all supported by more than 150 volunteers and more than 100 employees that seek to help keep people independent and in their own homes. Your donation to Benevilla supports adult life enrichment day programs, Benefitness Adaptive Gym, Wirtzie’s Preschool and Daycare, Family Resource Center, C.A.R.E.S. Department with free resources and information, home services, support groups, educational workshops, caregiver resource events, community garden, resources for kinship caregivers, and more.

The mission of Benevilla is to enrich the lives of West Valley residents. By building a caring community of neighbors helping neighbors, Benevilla provides extensive support services for older adults, adults with disabilities, caregivers, children, and the families who care for them. Benevilla programs are supported through donations from individuals, congregations, service clubs, and corporations. These generous individuals and organizations ensure we can meet the needs of our community today and in the future. For every person enrolled in a Benevilla program, two people get their lives back: the individual and the caregiver.
