Why We Ride
“The Past We Can’t Change…The Future We Can” is the motto of the Saint Barnabas Burn Foundation. The Foundation is the educational, research and fundraising arm of The Burn Center at Saint Barnabas Medical Center.  The mission of the Burn Foundation is prevention through education because the best way to treat a burn is to prevent it from ever happening.

Since 1987, the Burn Foundation has been providing fire safety and burn prevention education programs to school children, businesses, community organizations, healthcare professionals and fire service personnel across the state.

Annually Saint Barnabas Burn Foundation and The Burn Center touch the lives of over 34,000 individuals through either lifesaving prevention and education programs or direct patient care.  Sadly, 40% of our inpatients are under the age of five. The Burn Foundation is dedicated to the complete physical and emotional recovery of those affected by a burn injury.
