Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation
District #11
At age 8, Alisa Ann Ruch was fatally injured in a backyard barbecue accident. Using their tragedy as a catalyst for change, Alisa Ann’s parents partnered with Southern California firefighters to found the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation (AARBF), a 501(c) (3) nonprofit organization, in 1971. AARBF’s mission is to enhance the quality of life for burn survivors and promote burn prevention education.
