Burned Children's Fund

MUSC Children's Hospital Burned Children's Fund is a continuation of a program founded in 1986 by South Carolina's firefighters and MUSC Children's Hospital to ease the recovery process for MUSC's pediatric burn patients and their families. Donations to this fund support South Carolina's only referral center for pediatric burns, MUSC Children's Hospital Pediatric Burn Center.

The funds raised from the program are used for non-medical items that are not covered by insurance. Items may include:

Special protective clothing
Burn ointments and creams
Therapeutic toys
Transportation, food and shelter for families that are required to return to the Pediatric Burn Center for ongoing treatment
Bicycles and sports equipment for muscle exercise
Any other expense directly related to the recovery of a child that is not covered by insurance

The Burned Children's Fund and the Pediatric Burn Center co-sponsor Camp Can Do, a camp designed specially for burned children. The Burned Children's Fund also supports the FAN Club. This program matches firefighters with burned children to help them return to school as well as educate their classmates about the child's experience. Also accomplished is the creation of a hydrotherapy area in MUSC Children's Hospital, improving the necessary, but unpleasant dressing changes and treatments a burned child must endure.
