Burn injuries can have a devastating and life-altering effect on its victims physically and emotionally. Often times, treatment and rehabilitation by way of surgeries and counseling can take weeks, months and years.

Proceeds from the RCFGA Burn Foundation Golf Tournament are presented to the Arrowhead Regional Burn Center. Over the past 12 years, the RCFGA and Riverside County public safety dispatchers have donated over $150,000 to the burn center.
