Making a Difference: Basch Construction & Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation
Children and families who fall victim to fires often have a long road to recovery ahead of them. In an effort to help alleviate some of their suffering, Basch Construction held its 2nd Annual Golf Classic Tournament to help support the Firefighters of Southern Nevada Burn Foundation.
The tournament was held on June 22nd at Siena Golf Course with firefighters from all departments in Southern Nevada and generous members of the community teeing up and driving down the fairway to benefit the Burn Foundation and its ongoing mission to help the helpless. “The Foundation is a group whose efforts make our communities stronger,” said Jim Baschnagel, owner of Basch Construction. “While fighting fires, firefighters witness burn victims and their families suffer physically and emotionally. Events like the Golf Classic Tournament help generate funds supporting the children and families who have been victims of fires.”
The Foundation hopes to use the funds raised to help send young burn victims to Camp Beyond the Scars, a summer program that gives children who are burn victims a chance to enjoy a positive experience. Since its inception in 1987, the camp has made a difference in the lives of more than 1,600 burned children, placing an emphasis on self esteem and overcoming negativity.
