Partnered with the Burn Foundation of CNY and Tompkins Cortland Community College (TC3), the Dryden Fire Department was proud to host burn survivors for the 11th Annual “Overnight Retreat” on February 21-23, 2025.

The weekend includes:

• Friday Night – Syracuse Crunch game and an overnight at the Nedrow Fire Department

Mission of the Burn Foundation: Committed to burn support, awareness, and prevention, and aim to to make the recovery process easier for burn survivors.

Special thanks to Clark’s Food Mart, Pine Ridge Grocery, and CP Cash and Carry for their donations towards dinner and breakfast! These delicious meals would not have been possible without their generosity.

It was also an honor to receive a piece of artwork as a thank you from Bruce, on behalf of the Burn Foundation.
