25th Annual Firefighter Boot Drive – March 5, 2025!

25th Annual Firefighter Boot Drive – March 5, 2025!

Celebrating 26 Years of Courage and Care! The countywide Boot Drive is a hallmark event.

Each year, hundreds of uniformed firefighters from fire departments all over San Diego County come together for a common goal – to collect donations in their boots during the morning and evening commutes. Each year, passing motorists help to fill those boots with their spare change – $1, $5, $20 – even $100 bills.

Banners with QR codes will hang at participating fire stations throughout the month promoting the Firefighter Boot Drive. The banners and the signage used will also include QR codes for contactless payment as a way to give.

Proceeds benefit the Burn Institute fire and burn prevention education programs, and burn survivor support programs, such as Camp Beyond the Scars for burn-injured children 8–17 years old. Our wonderful camp program has provided a safe place for thousands of young burn survivors to share their experiences in a supportive camp environment.

All the funds raised through the Boot Drive will stay in San Diego and Imperial Counties.

Why wait? Donate today and help us reduce burn injuries and support burn survivors in San Diego.
